    Abstract: In one embodiment, a switch in a software-defined network receives a packet sent by an endpoint device via the SDN. The switch makes a copy of the packet based on one or more header fields of the packet matching one or more flow table entries of the switch. The switch forms telemetry data for reporting to a traffic analysis service by applying a metadata filter to the copy of the packet. The metadata filter prevents at least a portion of the copy of the packet from inclusion in the telemetry data. The switch sends the formed telemetry data to the traffic analysis service.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service that monitors a network obtains file characteristic data of a file stored on a first endpoint in the network. The service infers characteristics of encrypted content within encrypted traffic in the network between the first endpoint and a second endpoint, by applying a machine learning-based classifier to traffic data regarding the encrypted traffic session. The service compares the file characteristic data of the file to the inferred content characteristics of the encrypted content within the encrypted traffic, to detect the file within the encrypted traffic. The service enforces a network policy in the network, based on the detection of the file within the encrypted traffic.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device obtains telemetry data regarding an encrypted traffic session in a network. The telemetry data includes Transport Layer Security (TLS) features of the traffic session and auxiliary information indicative of a destination address of the traffic session, a destination port of the traffic session, or a server name associated with the traffic session. The device retrieves, using the obtained telemetry data, a plurality of candidate processes from a TLS fingerprint database that relates processes with telemetry data from encrypted traffic sessions initiated by those processes. The device uses a probabilistic model to assign probabilities to each of the plurality of candidate processes. The device identifies one of the plurality of candidate processes as having initiated the encrypted traffic session based on its assigned probability.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a service receives captured traffic flow data regarding a traffic flow sent via a network between a first device assigned to a first network zone and a second device assigned to a second network zone. The service identifies, from the captured traffic flow data, one or more cryptographic parameters of the traffic flow. The service determines whether the one or more cryptographic parameters of the traffic flow satisfy an inter-zone policy associated with the first and second network zones. The service causes performance of a mitigation action in the network when the one or more cryptographic parameters of the traffic flow do not satisfy the inter-zone policy associated with the first and second network zones.
