Identifying and mitigating harm from malicious network connections by a container. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving, from a shim, notifications of all network connections that a container has sought to establish through the shim. The method may also include monitoring all actual network connections established by the container. The method may further include comparing the notifications to the actual network connections to determine whether any actual network connection established by the container bypassed the shim. The method may also include, in response to determining that any actual network connection established by the container bypassed the shim, identifying the network connection established by the container that bypassed the shim as a malicious network connection, and performing a security action to mitigate harm from the malicious network connection.

A parsing module identifies a framed page within a web page received from a network. The parsing module further identifies information regarding the frame such as the framed page's uniform resource locator. A lookup module accesses a memory module to determine if the identified information regarding the frame is included in a protection list stored in the memory module. A notification module notifies a client's user that the framing web page is fraudulent if the identified information regarding the frame is included in the protection list. Alternatively, the parsing module is adapted to identify a security tag within the framed page indicating that the framed page is not permitted to be displayed within a frame. If the framed page includes a security tag, the notification module notifies the client's user that the framing web page is fraudulent.

A firewall dynamically adapts to changes in a utility computing system. The utility computing system has multiple nodes that are dynamically provisioned in different roles. The different roles are best served by different security and/or Quality-of-Service (QoS) policies. The firewall selects and applies security and/or QoS policies to a node or group of nodes based on the roles provisioned to the node or group. The firewall detects when the provisioning of a node changes, and dynamically applies a new security and/or QoS policy to the node based on the new provisioning. The firewall thus provides adaptive network-level security and QoS functionality to a utility computing system.
