Systems and methods for assessing an application access risk are provided. An example method commences with collecting data concerning relationships between an application, one or more client devices, and one or more users in a computing environment. The method includes updating a graph database including nodes and edges. The nodes represent the application, the one or more client devices, and the one or more users and the edges represent relationships between the application, the one or more client devices, and the one or more users. The method continues with enriching the graph database by associating the nodes with metadata including information concerning the one or more users accessing the application from the one or more client devices. The method further includes analyzing the graph database to identify a subset of nodes used to access the application and displaying a graphical representation of the subset of nodes.

Methods and systems for accurately assessing application access risk

Methods and systems for understanding identity and organizational access to applications within an enterprise environment are provided. Exemplary methods include collecting data about relationships between applications and metadata associated with the applications in a computing environment of an enterprise, the metadata including information concerning a plurality of users accessing the applications; updating a graph database including nodes representing the applications of the computing environment of the enterprise and edges representing relationships between the applications; enriching the graph database by associating the nodes with metadata associated with the applications and associating user accounts with metadata associated with roles, organizations membership, privileges, and permissions; analyzing the graph database to identify a subset of nodes being accessed by a user of the plurality of users; and displaying, via a graphical user interface, a graphical representation of the subset of nodes and relationships between the nodes in the subset of the nodes.

Systems and methods for understanding identity and organizational access to applications within an enterprise environment

Methods and systems for managing security in a cloud computing environment are provided. Exemplary methods include: gathering data about workloads and applications in the cloud computing environment; updating a graph database using the data, the graph database representing the workloads of the cloud computing environment as nodes and relationships between the workloads as edges; receiving a security template, the security template logically describing targets in the cloud computing environment to be protected and how to protect the targets; creating a security policy using the security template and information in the graph database; and deploying the security policy in the cloud computing environment.

Cloud security management

A network system includes a first network access device having an input/output (IO) module of a firewall to capture a packet of a network session originated from a first node associated with the first network access device, a first security device having a firewall processing module to determine based on the captured packet whether the first node is a destination node that is receiving VM migration from a second node that is associated with a second network access device. The first security device is to update a first flow table within the first network access device. The network system further includes a second security device to receive a message from the first security device concerning the VM migration to update a second flow table of the second network access device, such that further network traffic of the network session is routed to the first node without interrupting the network session.

Adaptive session forwarding following virtual machine migration detection

A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for distributed zone-based security. In one embodiment, the method comprises: determining an ingress security zone associated with an ingress of a first network device based on a first key and a media access control (MAC) address of a source of a packet; determining an egress security zone of a second network device based on a MAC address of a destination for the packet and a second key; performing a policy lookup based on the ingress security zone and the egress security zone to identify a policy to apply to the packet; and applying the policy to the packet.
