OUT OF BAND THREAT PREVENTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18453199 titled 'OUT OF BAND THREAT PREVENTION
The abstract of this patent application describes a system that includes a data processing unit (DPU) responsible for receiving notifications related to a virtualized computing environment on a host system. The DPU is associated with a security characteristic and is capable of identifying threat types associated with threats in the virtualized environment. Based on the threat type or the security characteristic, the system determines a threat prevention operation to address the threat, which is then performed on the host system.
- The system includes a data processing unit (DPU) responsible for receiving notifications related to a virtualized computing environment on a host system.
- The DPU is associated with a security characteristic.
- The system can identify threat types associated with threats in the virtualized environment.
- Based on the threat type or the security characteristic, the system determines a threat prevention operation to address the threat.
- The threat prevention operation is then performed on the host system.
Potential Applications: - Cybersecurity systems - Virtualized computing environments - Threat detection and prevention technologies
Problems Solved: - Enhancing security in virtualized environments - Identifying and addressing threats efficiently
Benefits: - Improved threat detection and prevention - Enhanced security in virtualized environments - Efficient handling of security threats
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Threat Prevention System for Virtualized Environments This technology can be used in industries such as cybersecurity, cloud computing, and data centers to enhance security measures and protect sensitive information from threats in virtualized environments.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the threat prevention operation based on the identified threat type? - The system uses a combination of the threat type and the security characteristic of the virtualized environment to determine the appropriate threat prevention operation. 2. What are the key advantages of using a data processing unit (DPU) in this system? - The DPU allows for efficient processing of threat notifications and quick response to security threats in virtualized environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system includes a data processing unit (DPU). The DPU is to receive a notification associated with a virtualized computing environment on a host system coupled to the DPU. The DPU is associated with a security characteristic. A threat type associated with the threat is identified. Based on at least one of the threat type associated with the threat or the security characteristic of the virtualized computing environment, a threat prevention operation to address the threat is determined. The threat prevention operation is caused to be performed on the host system.
