Techniques for fine-grained firewall policy enforcement using session APP ID and endpoint process ID correlation are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for fine-grained firewall policy enforcement using session APP ID and endpoint process ID correlation includes receiving, at a network device on an enterprise network, process identification (ID) information from an endpoint (EP) agent executed on an EP device, in which the process identification information identifies a process that is initiating a network session from the EP device on the enterprise network; monitoring network communications associated with the network session at the network device to identify an application identification (APP ID) for the network session; and performing an action based on a security policy using the process ID information and the APP ID.

Techniques for credentials enforcement using a firewall are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for enforcement using a firewall includes storing a plurality of user credentials at a network device; monitoring network traffic at the network device to determine if there is a match with one or more of the plurality of user credentials; and performing an action if the match is determined.

Techniques for an efficient and secure store for credentials enforcement using a firewall are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for an efficient and secure store for credentials enforcement using a firewall includes receiving a space-efficient and secure data structure, such as bloom filter, from an agent executed on an authentication server, in which the bloom filter is generated by the agent based on a transformation of a plurality of user credentials extracted from the authentication server and/or intercepted at the authentication server; storing the bloom filter on the network device (e.g., in a cache on the network device); and monitoring network traffic at the network device to perform credentials enforcement using the bloom filter.
