Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for dynamically and proactively scanning a computing environment for application misconfiguration security threats. Techniques include identifying an application configured for network communications; analyzing a network security configuration of the application; identifying, based on the analyzing, a target network address that the application is configured to use to redirect a network device to a target network resource; comparing the target network address to a whitelist of trusted target network addresses; assessing, based on the comparing, whether the network security configuration is misconfigured; and determining, based on the assessment, whether to provide a configuration validation status for the application.

On-demand and proactive detection of application misconfiguration security threats

Described herein are methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for participating in a validation process with the host computing device. Techniques include receiving, from the host computing device, a second key that is part of a cryptographic key pair comprising a first key and the second key. Techniques further include, encrypting, using the second key and as part of the validation process, data at the peripheral device and sending the encrypted data to the host computing device. Further, the host computing device validates an identity of the peripheral device based on a decryption, using the first key, of the encrypted data.

Identity-based security layer for peripheral computing devices

Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for securing the use of temporary access tokens in network environments. Techniques include identifying a request for an action involving a target network resource requiring a temporary access token; receiving, from the target network resource, a temporary access token; storing the temporary access token separate from the network identity; generating a customized replacement token having an attribute different from the temporary access token such that the customized replacement token cannot be used directly with the target network resource; providing the customized replacement token to the network identity; monitoring use of the customized replacement token to detect an activity identified as being at least one of potentially anomalous or potentially malicious; receiving an access request to access the target network resource; and based on the detected activity, denying the access request from the network identity.

Protections against security vulnerabilities associated with temporary access tokens

Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for automatically detecting and addressing security risks in code segments. Techniques include identifying a request from a network identity for an action involving a target network resource, wherein the action requires a temporary access token. Techniques further include performing, based on a security policy, at least one of: storing the temporary access token separate from the network identity and providing the network identity with a customized replacement token having an attribute different from the temporary access token; or creating a customized replacement role for the network identity, the customized replacement role having associated permissions that are customized for the network identity based on the request.

Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for securely validating access tokens. Techniques include receiving, at a token validation resource, a token provided from a network application, the token having an associated destination network address; wherein the token was dynamically created, and the token was provided to the network application; performing a validation process for the token, the validation process being based on at least the destination network address associated with the token; and determining, based on an outcome of the validation process, whether to permit the network application to assert the token to a destination network resource associated with the destination network address.
