Abstract: A method includes capturing first data associated with a first packet flow originating from a first host using a first capture agent deployed at the first host to yield first flow data, capturing second data associated with a second packet flow originating from the first host from a second capture agent deployed outside of the first host to yield second flow data and comparing the first flow data and the second flow data to yield a difference. When the difference is above a threshold value, the method includes determining that a hidden process exists and corrective action can be taken.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to securing workloads of a network by identifying compromised elements in communication with the network and preventing their access to network resources. In one aspect, a method includes monitoring network traffic at network elements of a network; detecting a compromised element in communication with one or more of the network elements, the compromised element being associated with at least one network threat; and based on a defined network policy, applying one of a number of different access prevention schemes to the compromised element to prevent access to the network by the compromised element.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for application placement can include the following processes. A security score service determines a respective security posture score for each of a plurality of candidate hosts of an enterprise network. A user then identify a set of performance parameters and security parameters for a host in an enterprise network to execute a workload thereon. An application placement engine selects a host from the plurality of candidate hosts having a security posture score matching the performance parameters and the security parameters for executing the workload. An application deployment engine places the workload on the host.

Abstract: An approach for establishing a priority ranking for endpoints in a network. This can be useful when triaging endpoints after an endpoint becomes compromised. Ensuring that the most critical and vulnerable endpoints are triaged first can help maintain network stability and mitigate damage to endpoints in the network after an endpoint is compromised. The present technology involves determining a criticality ranking and a secondary value for a first endpoint in a datacenter. The criticality ranking and secondary value can be combined to form priority ranking for the first endpoint which can then be compared to a priority ranking for a second endpoint to determine if the first endpoint or the second endpoint should be triaged first.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing compromised sensors in multi-tiered virtualized environments. In some embodiments, a system can receive, from a first capturing agent deployed in a virtualization layer of a first device, data reports generated based on traffic captured by the first capturing agent. The system can also receive, from a second capturing agent deployed in a hardware layer of a second device, data reports generated based on traffic captured by the second capturing agent. Based on the data reports, the system can determine characteristics of the traffic captured by the first capturing agent and the second capturing agent. The system can then compare the characteristics to determine a multi-layer difference in traffic characteristics. Based on the multi-layer difference in traffic characteristics, the system can determine that the first capturing agent or the second capturing agent is in a faulty state.

Abstract: A method includes capturing first data associated with a first packet flow originating from a first host using a first capture agent deployed at the first host to yield first flow data, capturing second data associated with a second packet flow originating from the first host from a second capture agent deployed on a second host to yield second flow data and comparing the first flow data and the second flow data to yield a difference. When the difference is above a threshold value, the method includes determining that the second packet flow was transmitted by a component that bypassed an operating stack of the first host or a packet capture agent at the device to yield a determination, detecting that hidden network traffic exists, and predicting a malware issue with the first host based on the determination.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for gathering network intrusion counter-intelligence. A system can maintain a decoy network environment at one or more machines. The system can identify a malicious user accessing network services through the network environment. Further, the system can receive network service access requests from the user at one or more machines in the network environment and subsequently direct the network service access requests from the malicious user to the decoy network environment based on an identification of the malicious user. The network services access requests can be satisfied with network service access responses generated in the decoy network environment. Subsequently, the system can maintain malicious user analytics based on the network service access requests of the malicious user that are directed to the decoy network environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for enriching flow data to analyze network security, availability, and compliance. A network analytics system can capture flow data and metadata from network elements. The network analytics system can enrich the flow data by in-line association of the flow data and metadata. The network analytics system can generate multiple planes with each plane representing a dimension of enriched flow data. The network analytics system can generate nodes for the planes with each node representing a unique value or set of values for the dimensions represented by planes. The network analytics system can generate edges for the nodes of the planes with each edge representing a flow between endpoints corresponding to the nodes. The network analytics system can update the planes in response to an interaction with the planes or in response to a query.
