Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel method for managing layer four (L4) ports associated with a machine executing on a host computer. The method collects a set of contextual attributes relating to applications executing on the machine. It then analyzes the collected contextual attributes to identify at least one L4 port that has to have its status modified. Next, it modifies the status of the identified L4 port. In some embodiments, the status of an L4 port can be either open or closed, and the modification can open a closed port or close an open port. In some embodiments, the method is performed when the machine starts up on the host computer, performed each time a new application is installed on the machine, performed periodically to close unused L4 ports, and/or performed periodically to close L4 ports that should not be open based on a set of L4-port control policies.

Systems and methods for federated privacy management are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for federated privacy management may include: (1) receiving, at a user management node, and from a client application executing on an electronic device, a device identifier; (2) receiving, by the user management node, and from a second layer node in a multi-layer federated privacy management network, data comprising at least one of browsing data and application data from a web host or a server, wherein the data is in response to an internet protocol request from the client application via a first layer node and the second layer node to the web host or the server, and the data is associated with the device identifier; (3) receiving, at the user management node, a request for the data from the client application using the device identifier; and (4) communicating the data to the client application.

A new approach is proposed to support autonomous similar and adjacent attack identification. First, an incident is created for a detected suspicious electronic message-borne attack at one user account with one tenant on an electronic communication platform. A plurality of insight events for similar or adjacent attacks are then generated automatically based on the detected attack and inserted into an insights queue. For each of the insight events in the insights queue, a search is conducted in a repository to identify a set of un-remediated attacks against user accounts of the same or different tenants on the electronic communication platform, wherein the set of un-remediated attacks are similar or adjacent to the detected attack. Insights on the identified un-remediated attacks against the user accounts in the same or different tenants that are similar or adjacent to the detected attack are automatically generated for an administrator and are remediated accordingly.

A method and system for providing web resources through a zero trust network environment are provided. The system comprises receiving a request from a client device to access a web resource through a zero trust network environment, wherein the web resource is external to the zero trust network environment, the request including a first uniform resource locator (URL), and the resource further including a second URL; fetching the web resource based on the first URL; generating an alternate resource, the alternate resource including an alternate URL replacing the second URL; and providing the alternate resource to the client device.

A method and system for providing web resources having long identifiers through a zero trust network environment. The method comprises receiving a request from a client device to access a web resource through a zero trust network environment, wherein the web resource is external to the zero trust network environment, the request including a first uniform resource locator (URL), and the resource further including a second URL having a first length; fetching the web resource based on the first URL; generating a shortened alternate URL based on at least a portion of the second URL, in response to determining that the first length exceeds a predetermined threshold; generating an alternate resource, the alternate resource including the shortened alternate URL replacing the second URL; and providing the alternate resource to the client device.

Permission control and management for messaging application bots is described. A method can include providing a messaging application, on a first computing device associated with a first user, to enable communication between the first user and another user, and detecting, at the messaging application, a user request. The method can also include programmatically determining that an action in response to the user request requires access to data associated with the first user, and causing a permission interface to be rendered in the messaging application, the permission interface enabling the first user to approve or prohibit access to the data associated with the first user. The method can include accessing the data associated with the first user and performing the action in response to the user request, upon receiving user input from the first user indicating approval of the access to the data associated with the first user.

Systems and methods for a security network integrating security system and network devices are disclosed. A system may comprise a gateway and first and second security panels, each located at a premises. The first and second security panels may be connected, via respective first and second wireless communication protocols, to respective first and second security system components. The first and second security panels may receive respective first and second security data from the respective first and second security system components. The gateway may be configured to receive, via the first and second wireless communication protocols, the respective first and second security data. The gateway may be configured to transmit at least one of the first security data and the second security data to a security server located external to the premises.

Some embodiments provide a method for detecting a threat to a datacenter. The method generates a graph of connections between data compute nodes (DCNs) in the datacenter. Each connection has an associated time period during which the connection is active. The method receives an anomalous event occurring during a particular time period at a particular DCN operating in the datacenter. The method analyzes the generated graph to determine a set of paths between DCNs in the datacenter that include connections to the particular DCN during the particular time period. The method uses the set of paths to identify a threat to the datacenter.

A computer-based system comprising a library module associated with an application, the library module using stored configuration data and configuration metadata for the application and a configurator to generate a web user interface using the configuration metadata. The web user interface allowing a user to input configuration information for the application.

A method by a service worker firewall middleware component is disclosed. The method includes causing a service worker firewall associated with a web site to be installed on a web browser, obtaining one or more rules in response to receiving a request from the service worker firewall for rules to be applied by the service worker firewall, sending a response to the service worker firewall, wherein the response includes the one or more rules, a digital signature for the one or more rules, and an indication of when the digital signature expires, wherein the digital signature is generated using a private key associated with the website, and receiving a rules violation report from the service worker firewall, wherein the rules violation report was generated as a result of the service worker firewall applying the one or more rules to cross-origin requests.
