Abstract: A management entity communicates over a network with devices on which security rules are configured to control network access. Data that indicates a hit count for each security rule across the devices is repeatedly collected from the devices. The indicated hit counts for each security rule are aggregated over different repeating time intervals to produce repeatedly aggregated hit counts for respective ones of the different repeating time intervals. The security rules are generated for display on a user interface screen as selectable options. Responsive to a selection of one of the security rules, a selected security rule and most recently aggregated hit counts for the different repeating time intervals for the selected security rule are generated for concurrent display on the user interface screen. The display of the most recently aggregated hit counts for the selected security rule is updated as time progresses.

Abstract: A method is performed at a management device to manage multiple network security devices over a network. The security devices are configured to control access to network accessible resources. A query is received. In response to the received query, a respective native security rule that references the specific resource is collected from each security device, where each native security rule is based on a respective native rule model associated with the security device from which the native security rule is collected. Each native security rule is translated into a respective normalized rule that is based on a generic rule model. The respective normalized rules are compared to each other to generate compare results. Based on the compare results, an indication of whether each security device allows or blocks access to the specific resource is generated.

Abstract: A management entity generates for display multiple icons, each icon representing an actor or a resource in a networking environment, and defines a generic security policy by receiving user input in the form of a line drawn between a first icon representing an actor and a second icon representing a resource to control abilities between the actor and the resource. The management entity translates the generic security policy to multiple native security policies each of which is based on a corresponding one of multiple native policy models associated with corresponding ones of multiple security devices, and supply data descriptive of the multiple native security policies to the corresponding ones of the security devices to configure the corresponding ones of the security devices to implement the native security policies.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for creating a policy block comprised of a group of lines of rules/statements across configuration files for network devices. An algorithm is provided that determines when multiple policies are to be merged together into one policy. In one embodiment, data is uploaded from a network that includes a plurality of network devices. The data represents policy rules configured on the plurality of network devices. The data representing the policy rules is compared for similarities in order to group together policy rules based on their similarities. Data is stored representing a plurality of clusters, each cluster representing a group of policy rules that have been grouped together. One or more configuration policies are generated to be applied across the plurality of network devices using the data representing each of the plurality of clusters, while maintaining context of policy rule processing.

Abstract: A management entity receives from multiple security devices corresponding native security policies each based on a native policy model associated with the corresponding security device. Each security device controls access to resources by devices associated with the security device according to the corresponding native security policy. The management entity normalizes the received native security policies across the security devices based on a generic policy model, to produce a normalized security policy that is based on the generic policy model and representative of the native security polices.

Abstract: In a computer implemented method, selectable device icons that represent respective network security devices are generated for display. Responsive to a selection of one of the device icons, selectable interface icons that represent respective network interfaces used by the network security device represented by the selected device icon are generated for display. Responsive to a selection of one of the interface icons, selectable policy icons that represent respective security polices applied to the network interface represented by the selected interface icon are generated for display. Responsive to a selection of one of the policy icons, selectable object group icons that represent respective groups of security rule objects used in the network security policy represented by the selected policy icon are generated for display.

Abstract: A management entity generates selectable security policy classifications each identifying security policies that share common security rules. Each of the security policies is applied by a corresponding one of different security devices to control access to a resource. The management entity creates a new policy template that includes all of the security policies identified by selected ones of the policy classification selections and then creates a new security policy based on the new policy template. The management entity applies the new security policy to a security device over a network.

Abstract: First and second security rules are accessed in a configuration file. Comparison points for comparing the first and second security rules are determined. Each comparison point identifies respective rule parameters of the first and second security rules. Respective weights are assigned to the comparison points. For each comparison point, the respective rule parameters are compared against each other to produce a corresponding comparison score indicative of a level similarity. Each comparison score is weighted by the weight assigned to the comparison point corresponding to the comparison score. The weighted comparison scores are combined into a total score indicative of an overall level of similarity between the first and second security rules.
