Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Zero touch policy provisioning in workload protection solutions." This invention involves devices, systems, methods, and processes for automatically generating a segmentation strategy. Users of workload protection solutions can initiate a process to deploy various agents onto a network with one or more operating systems. The initial scope may be defined via one or more best practices to generate a scope tree. Associated labels may be defined based on the scope design and any subnets learned from the installed agent interface subnets. Common services can also be defined based on well-known ports and/or protocols. Agent-based host names can be evaluated to define potential application groupings. A generated application dependency mapping can be applied to understand potential application boundaries and potential policy recommendations. These steps can help a user to begin their segmentation strategy when deploying a workload protection solution.

Another notable patent is "Systems and methods for enforcement readiness verification." This invention describes devices, systems, methods, and processes for determining enforcement readiness in a workload protection solution. Often, a user may desire to initiate enforcement on a network but may not know if the various workloads, agents, or other components of the workload protection solution are in a condition to begin enforcement. As a result, embodiments described herein can generate an enforcement validation status or overall enforcement readiness determination by evaluating a plurality of different configurations, attributes, or other settings associated with any desired workloads subject to the policy to be enforced. Upon evaluation, a notification can be generated to the user in the form of a graphical user interface or other similar output device that is configured to show any determined error or issue preventing enforcement readiness. As a result, these can be addressed by a user until enforcement can be activated, easing the overall enforcement process.
