SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC NETWORK SECURITY CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240259374 titled 'SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC NETWORK SECURITY CONTROL
The patent application describes a method or system for dynamic network security control in a trusted public cloud environment. The system discovers external network addresses associated with services, maps them to network security policies, and updates network access control lists based on these mappings.
- System discovers external network addresses (ENAs) associated with services in a trusted public cloud environment (TPCE).
- Accesses network security policies stored in the TPCE.
- Maps ENAs to network security policies based on contextual relationships.
- Stores mappings between ENAs and network security policies in the TPCE.
- Updates network access control lists based on the mappings.
Potential Applications: - Cloud security management - Network access control in public cloud environments - Dynamic network security policy enforcement
Problems Solved: - Efficient mapping of network addresses to security policies - Real-time network security control in dynamic cloud environments
Benefits: - Enhanced network security in public cloud environments - Automation of network access control processes - Improved visibility and management of network security policies
Commercial Applications: Title: "Dynamic Network Security Control System for Public Cloud Environments" This technology can be used by cloud service providers, enterprises with cloud-based services, and cybersecurity companies offering cloud security solutions. It can help improve the overall security posture of organizations operating in public cloud environments.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure accurate mapping between external network addresses and network security policies? 2. What are the key advantages of using dynamic network security control in a trusted public cloud environment?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method or system for dynamic network security control. the system discovers multiple external network addresses (enas) associated with multiple services in a trusted public cloud environment (tpce), and records the discovered enas in a first storage. the system also accesses multiple network security policies stored in the tpce. the system then maps the enas to the network security policies based on contextual relationships therebetween, and stores mappings between the enas and the network security policies in the tpce. the system causes a network access control list to be update based in part on the mappings. the network access control list contains rules that specify which entities are granted or denied access to the enas associated with the services.
