Various embodiments include systems and methods pertaining to a network sensor host configured to implement a receive side scaling (RSS) configuration component in a security environment. The RSS configuration component may be used to automatically generate an RSS configuration comprising one or more settings customized for the network sensor host based at least in part on hardware information of the network sensor host. In some embodiments, the RSS configuration may be applied to change settings of a network interface driver of the network sensor host, e.g., to implement RSS and multithreading for network sensor tasks.

Automatic reconfiguration of network interface driver on network sensor host

Various embodiments include systems and methods pertaining to a security service platform that detects security threats based on a security service that operates on structurally deduplicated network data. The security service performs a security analysis that includes rule matching to detect threats to a network, where the rule matching operates on the structurally deduplicated data. The security service may compile one or more rulesets into an executable binary that efficiently operates over the format of the structurally deduplicated data.

Security rule matching over structurally deduplicated network data

Various embodiments include systems and methods pertaining to a security service platform that detects security threats based on a security service that operates on structurally deduplicated network data. The security service may operate within a cloud environment and perform the security analysis that includes compiling a ruleset to generate an executable, where the executable is run over the structurally deduplicated event data. If the executable identifies a rule match for a given portion of structurally deduplicated event data, then the security service platform may reconstruct the structurally deduplicated event data to access all portions of a network event associated with the structurally deduplicated event data that triggered the rule match. The security service platform may use the reconstructed event data to generate and provide an alert that indicates a detected cyberattack.
