An insider attack resistant system for providing cloud services integrity checking is disclosed. In particular, the system utilizes an automated integrity checking script and virtual machines to check the integrity of a service. The system may utilize the integrity checking script and virtual machines to execute a set of operations associated with the service so as to check the integrity of the service. When executing the set of operations, the system may only have access to the minimum level of access to peripherals that is required for each operation in the set of operations to be executed. After each operation is executed, the system may log each result for each operation, and analyze each result to determine if a failure exists for any of the operations. If a failure exists, the system may determine that a change in an expected system behavior associated with the service has occurred.

Insider attack resistant system and method for cloud services integrity checking

Concepts and technologies directed to scrubbed internet protocol domain for enhanced cloud security are disclosed herein. In various aspects, a system can include a processor and memory storing instructions that, upon execution, cause performance of operations. The operations can include exposing an application to a service provider network that provides an internet connection, where the application is provided by a datacenter that communicates with the service provider network. The operations can include monitoring traffic flows to the application during an observation time period, where the traffic flows include probe traffic that attempts to reach the application. The operations can include constructing a scrubbed internet protocol domain such that detected probe traffic is prevented from reaching a plurality of virtual machines provided by the datacenter.

Scrubbed internet protocol domain for enhanced cloud security

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a first access point name according to a first service set identifier associated with a first wireless message transmitted according to a first wireless protocol from a first device, where the first access point name is included in a set of access point names of a cellular communication system, and transmitting a second wireless message according to a second wireless protocol to a communication node of a guided wave communication system, where the guided wave communication system is communicatively coupled to the cellular communication system, where the second wireless message is associated with the first wireless message and includes the first access point name, and where the cellular communication system determines a first routing of first communications associated with the first device according to first access point name. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and apparatus for managing communication routings in a communication system

A system and method for identifying distributed attacks, such as, but not limited to, distributed denial of service attacks and botnet attacks, in a first network serviced by a first carrier and configured to alert a second network serviced by a second carrier that is different from the first carrier is disclosed. Once an attack has been identified, an attack alert is generated and provided to the second network or other aspects of the first network, or both. The attack alerts may be distributed dynamically with the second network via diameter based security protocol Rs. Such system and method may mitigate distributed malicious attacks by sharing destination internet protocol and bad international mobile subscriber identity information across carriers.

Intra-carrier and inter-carrier network security system

A system for providing access control in a cloud includes a software defined network including a software defined network controller. The system is configured to authenticate user access using multi-factor authentication. If the user is authorized to access a cloud resource the software defined network controller sends instructions to insert layer 3 and 4 user-specific flows to a software defined network device connected to the cloud resource. The user-specific flows cause the software defined network device to grant access to the cloud resource to the user.

Systems and methods for providing software defined network based dynamic access control in a cloud

Mitigation of malicious software in wireless networks and/or on mobile devices is provided. A mobile malicious software mitigation component is provided that obtains an internet protocol address that is exhibiting malicious software behavior, a profile of the malicious software behavior, and a time of the malicious software behavior. The malicious software mitigation component can determine an identity of a mobile device that was assigned the internet protocol address during the time it was exhibiting malicious software behavior, and transmit the profile to the mobile device. In addition, the malicious software mitigation component determine if the duration of the assignment of the internet protocol address to the mobile device is sufficient for positive identification.
