Abstract:
An example method identifying a request to access or modify a data resource. The request is made by a user. The example method further includes authenticating the user. Based on authenticating the user, the example method includes determining that the request is associated with a malicious intent based on a characteristic of the user. Further, based on determining that the request is associated with the malicious intent, the example method includes blocking the user from accessing or modifying the data resource.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for setting and/or adjusting a security policy associated with a device based on the physical locations of endpoint devices exchanging data with the device. An example method includes performing, at a first time, a first authentication of a first device connecting to a service; determining addresses of second devices exchanging data with the first device; determining physical locations of the second devices based on the addresses; and defining a reauthentication interval based on the physical locations of the second devices. At a second time that is after the first time by the reauthentication interval, the example method further includes disconnecting the first device from the service; and based on disconnecting the first device from the service, triggering a second authentication of the first device.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, at a network element in a network, a domain name query is intercepted from a client. Metadata associated with a network application or service that is the object of the domain name query is obtained from a domain name system server. A policy is determined to enforce, based on the metadata, and the policy is enforced with respect to the client's access of the network application or service.
