Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for hierarchichal sharding of flows from sensors to collectors. A first collector can receive a first portion of a network flow from a first capturing agent and determine that a second portion of the network flow was not received from the first capturing agent. The first collector can then send the first portion of the network flow to a second collector. A third collector can receive the second portion of the network flow from a second capturing agent and determine that the third collector did not receive the first portion of the network flow. The third collector can then send the second portion of the network flow to the second collector. The second collector can then aggregate the first portion and second portion of the network flow to yield the entire portion of the network flow.

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: A network analytics system can receive first sensor data, including first network activity and a first timestamp associated with a first clock of a first node, and second sensor data, including second network activity and a second timestamp associated with a second clock of a second node. The system can determine a first delta between the first clock and a third clock based on the first timestamp, and a second delta between the second clock and the third clock. The system can determine a first communication latency associated with a first sensor of the first node, and a second communication latency associated with a second sensor of the second node. The system can generate a report that synchronizes one or more data flows between the first node and the second node based on the first delta, the second delta, the first communication latency, and the second communication latency.

Abstract: Conditional policies can be defined that change based on security measurements of network endpoints. In an example embodiment, a network traffic monitoring system can monitor network flows between the endpoints and quantify how secure those endpoints are based on analysis of the network flows and other data. A conditional policy may be created that establishes one or more first connectivity policies for handling a packet when a security measurement of an endpoint is a first value or first range values, and one or more second connectivity policies for handling the packet. The connectivity policies may include permitting connectivity, denying connectivity, redirecting the packet using a specific route, or other network action. When the network traffic monitoring system detects a change to the security measurement of the endpoint, one or more applicable policies can be determined and the system can update policy data for the network to enforce the policies.

Abstract: An application and network analytics platform can capture telemetry from servers and network devices operating within a network. The application and network analytics platform can determine an application dependency map (ADM) for an application executing in the network. Using the ADM, the application and network analytics platform can resolve flows into flowlets of various granularities, and determine baseline metrics for the flowlets. The baseline metrics can include transmission times, processing times, and/or data sizes for the flowlets. The application and network analytics platform can compare new flowlets against the baselines to assess availability, load, latency, and other performance metrics for the application. In some implementations, the application and network analytics platform can automate remediation of unavailability, load, latency, and other application performance issues.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a monitoring device (or module) monitors messages exchanged between nodes in a communication network. The monitoring device further determines, based on time stamp data associated with each message, one or more latency distributions of paired response times between the nodes, and determines a node topology consistent with each of the one or more latency distributions of paired response times between the nodes. In some embodiments, the monitoring device also generates a graph of the node topology showing one or more communication links between the nodes, and annotates each communication link of the one or more communication links with at least one of a mean response time or a median response time based on at least one of the latency distributions.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for determining sensor placement and topology. In some embodiments, a system can receive messages from sensors deployed around a network, each of the messages reporting a respective flow captured by a reporting sensor from the sensors. Next, the system can identify flows reported in the messages and, for each of the flows, generate a respective list of sensors that reported that flow. Based on the respective list of sensors, the system can infer a respective placement of the sensors within the network and a topology of the sensors. For example, the system can determine that a first sensor is deployed in a virtual machine, a second sensor is deployed in a hypervisor hosting the virtual machine, and a third sensor is deployed in a network device configured to route traffic associated with the hypervisor.

Abstract: A virtualized computing system including software sensors captures network data from one or more traffic flows the sensors. The captured network data from a given sensor indicates one or more traffic flows detected by the given sensor. The received captured network data is analyzed to identify, for each respective sensor, a first group of sensors, a second group of sensors, and a third group of sensors. All traffic flows observed by the first group of sensors are also observed by the second group of sensors. All traffic flows observed by the second group of sensors are also observed by the third group of sensors. A location of each respective sensor relative to other sensors within the virtualized computing system is determined based upon whether the respective sensor belongs to the first group of sensors, the second group of sensors, or the third group of sensors.

Abstract: A network can achieve compliance by defining and enforcing a set of network policies to secure protected electronic information. The network can monitor network data, host/endpoint data, process data, and user data for traffic using a sensor network that provides multiple perspectives. The sensor network can include sensors for networking devices, physical servers, hypervisors or shared kernels, virtual partitions, and other network components. The network can analyze the network data, host/endpoint data, process data, and user data to determine policies for traffic. The network can determine expected network actions based on the policies, such as allowing traffic, denying traffic, configuring traffic for quality of service (QoS), or redirecting traffic along a specific route. The network can update policy data based on the expected network actions and actual network actions. The policy data can be utilized for compliance.

Abstract: An example method can include monitoring a network to identify flows between nodes in the network. Once flows have been identified, the flows can be tagged and labelled according to the type of traffic they represent. If a flow represents malicious or otherwise undesirable traffic, it can be tagged accordingly. A request can then be made for a reputation score of an entity which can identify one or more nodes of the network.
