SECURITY APPLIANCE TO MONITOR NETWORKED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031379 titled 'SECURITY APPLIANCE TO MONITOR NETWORKED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a security appliance that collects data about software-defined infrastructures (SDIs) in a cloud computing environment. This data is used to create models that map resource attributes to data types. The security appliance then utilizes these models to provide context-sensitive help in policy rule constructions.

  • The security appliance samples data about SDIs in a cloud computing environment.
  • The collected data is used to build models that map resource attributes to data types.
  • The security appliance provides context-sensitive help in policy rule constructions using these models.

Potential Applications:

  • Cloud computing security: The technology can be used to enhance the security of cloud computing environments by providing context-sensitive help in policy rule constructions.
  • Resource management: The models created by the security appliance can be utilized to efficiently manage and allocate resources in a cloud computing environment.

Problems Solved:

  • Lack of context-sensitive help: The technology addresses the issue of providing relevant and context-sensitive help in policy rule constructions in cloud computing environments.
  • Inefficient resource allocation: The models created by the security appliance help in optimizing resource allocation and management in SDIs.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced security: The technology improves the security of cloud computing environments by providing context-sensitive help in policy rule constructions.
  • Efficient resource management: The models created by the security appliance enable efficient allocation and management of resources in SDIs, leading to improved performance and cost-effectiveness.


Original Abstract Submitted

a security appliance samples data about software defined infrastructures (sdis) of a cloud computing environment to incrementally build models that map resource attributes indicated in fields to data types. the security appliance uses the model(s) to provide context sensitive help in policy rule constructions.
