TECHNIQUES FOR TECHNOLOGY STACK DISCOVERY USING EXTERNAL EXPOSURE IN CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054228 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR TECHNOLOGY STACK DISCOVERY USING EXTERNAL EXPOSURE IN CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for actively inspecting a cloud computing environment by selecting a reachable resource, determining a network protocol for the network path, and inspecting the network path to determine if an application utilizing the network protocol is deployed on the reachable resource.
- Select a reachable resource in a cloud computing environment
- Determine the network protocol for the network path
- Actively inspect the network path to determine if a specific application is deployed on the reachable resource
Potential Applications
- Cloud security and compliance monitoring
- Network performance optimization in cloud environments
Problems Solved
- Ensuring the presence of specific applications in cloud resources
- Identifying potential security vulnerabilities in cloud networks
Benefits
- Improved visibility and control over cloud computing environments
- Enhanced security and compliance monitoring
- Optimized network performance in cloud environments
Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method for performing active inspection of a cloud computing environment includes selecting a reachable resource, having a network path to access the reachable resource, wherein the reachable resource is a cloud object deployed in the cloud computing environment, and accessible from a network which is external to the cloud computing environment; determining a network protocol for the network path; and actively inspecting the network path to determine if an application utilizing the network protocol is deployed on the reachable resource as part of a technology stack of the reachable resource.
