CONSISTENT MONITORING AND ANALYTICS FOR SECURITY INSIGHTS FOR NETWORK AND SECURITY FUNCTIONS FOR A SECURITY SERVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031413 titled 'CONSISTENT MONITORING AND ANALYTICS FOR SECURITY INSIGHTS FOR NETWORK AND SECURITY FUNCTIONS FOR A SECURITY SERVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for consistent monitoring and analytics of security insights for network and security functions in a security service. The system/process/computer program product receives a flow at a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) device, inspects the flow to determine if it is associated with a split tunnel, and monitors the flow at the SD-WAN device to collect security information for reporting to a security service.

  • The system/process/computer program product provides consistent monitoring and analytics for security insights in a security service.
  • It receives network flows at an SD-WAN device.
  • It inspects the flows to identify if they are associated with a split tunnel.
  • It monitors the flows at the SD-WAN device to collect security information.
  • The collected security information is then reported to a security service.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing security monitoring and analytics in network and security functions.
  • Improving the accuracy and efficiency of security insights in a security service.
  • Enabling better threat detection and response capabilities.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inconsistent monitoring and analytics of security insights in a security service.
  • Difficulty in identifying flows associated with split tunnels.
  • Limited visibility and collection of security information in network flows.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved security monitoring and analytics for better threat detection and response.
  • Enhanced visibility and collection of security information in network flows.
  • More accurate and efficient reporting of security insights to a security service.


Original Abstract Submitted

techniques for providing consistent monitoring and analytics for security insights for network and security functions for a security service are disclosed. in some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for providing consistent monitoring and analytics for security insights for network and security functions for a security service includes receiving a flow at a software-defined wide area network (sd-wan) device; inspecting the flow to determine whether the flow is associated with a split tunnel; and monitoring the flow at the sd-wan device to collect security information associated with the flow for reporting to a security service.
