Abstract:
A trained model may be deployed to an Internet-of-Things (IOT) operational environment in order to ingest features and detect events extracted from network traffic. The model may be received and converted into a meta-language representation which is interpretable by a data plane engine. The converted model can then be deployed to the data plane and may extract features from network communications over the data plane. The extracted features may be fed to the deployed model in order to generate event classifications or device state classifications.
Abstract:
In one example embodiment, a network-connected device provides or obtains one or more computer network communications protected by a key. The network-connected device determines a count of the one or more computer network communications according to one or more properties of the one or more computer network communications. Based on the count of the one or more computer network communications, the network-connected device computes an information entropy of the key. Based on the information entropy of the key, the network-connected device dynamically generates a predicted threat level of the key.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a system and method are disclosed for receiving a request for authorization to commission a target device based, at least in part, on a plurality of requested commissioning actions; determining whether each of the requested commissioning actions is authorized; sending a commissioning authorization, which includes information identifying the one or more authorized commissioning actions; receiving a commissioning complete confirmation message, which includes information identifying one or more completed commissioning actions; validating the commissioning complete confirmation message, in order to ensure that each of the completed actions had been previously authorized; and if all of the completed commissioning actions were previously authorized, sending an acknowledgement message.
Abstract:
Presented herein are techniques for adding a secure control layer to a distributed communication fabric that supports publish-subscribe (pub-sub) and direct query (synchronization) communication. The secure control layer is configured to perform policy-based authentication techniques to securely manage the exchange of data/information within the communication fabric and enable registration/discovery of new capabilities.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for authenticating a subject of a client device to access a software-as-a-service (SaaS) server. A network access device receives a request from a client device to establish a network session and transfers identity information of the subject, the client device and the network session to a session directory database. A request is sent to access an application on a SaaS server. If it does not contain an identity assertion that identifies the subject, the request is redirected to an identity provider device, to provide identity assertion services to the subject. A network session identifier is inserted into the request by a network access device and the request is forwarded to the identity provider device. The identity provider device uses the network session identifier to query the session directory database for the identity information to be used for a security assertion of the subject to the SaaS server.
Abstract:
Embodiments identify a station that rotates an over the air station address. As address rotation was not originally designed into wireless networks, the rotation can introduce communication challenges for the station. The embodiments derive that traffic referencing two different over the air station addresses are associated with a single common station. This is accomplished by determining a similarity between properties of two sets of traffic. A first set of traffic references the first over the air station address and a second set of traffic references the second over the air station address. If the properties common across the two sets of traffic indicate sufficient similarity, the embodiments determine that both sets of traffic are associated with a single device. Network configuration of the device is then adjusted based on the determination.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, an illustrative method herein may comprise: determining, by a device, a profile of an asset in a network, the profile identifying a type of the asset and a particular activity of the asset; determining, by the device, a specific context of the asset within the network; assigning, by the device, a risk score for the profile based on one or more risk factors associated with the profile and a comparison of the profile to an expected behavior of the type of the asset within the specific context; and performing, by the device, one or more mitigation actions based on the risk score.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, functionality is disclosed for commissioning a target device based, at least in part, on providing identifying information that identifies a target device, where that identifying information is configured to be included in a request for authorization to commission the target device, and that request for authorization to commission the target device comprises one or more requested commissioning actions; receiving a commissioning authorization, where the commissioning authorization comprises information regarding one or more authorized commissioning actions for which a license is available, where the one or more authorized commissioning actions were selected from among the one or more requested commissioning actions; and performing the one or more authorized commissioning actions.
Abstract:
Techniques are presented herein for engagement and disengagement of Transport Layer Security proxy services with encrypted handshaking. In one embodiment, a first initial message of a first encrypted handshaking procedure for a first secure communication session between a first device and a second device is intercepted at a proxy device. The first initial message includes first key exchange information for encrypting the first encrypted handshaking procedure. A copy of the first initial message is stored at the proxy device. A second initial message of a second encrypted handshaking procedure for a second secure communication session between the proxy device and the second device is sent from the proxy device to the second device. The second initial message includes second key exchange information for encrypting the second encrypted handshaking procedure. The proxy device determines, based on the second encrypted handshaking procedure, whether to remain engaged or to disengage.
