A method of monitoring a network during a DDoS attack is provided. The method includes receiving packets included in the attack, determining whether the packets are designated for tarpitting, for each packet from a source determined to be designated for tarpitting, assigning the packet to an existing or newly established flow, applying at least one tarpitting technique, and applying a randomization function for adjusting the at least one tarpitting technique or for selecting the at least one tarpitting technique to be applied from a plurality of candidate tarpitting techniques.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprise a computing device, which allows in-network and network-border protection for Internet of things (IoT) devices by securely partitioning network space and defining service-based access to IoT devices. The disclosed segmented attack prevention system for IoT networks (SAPSIN) segments the IoT network into two virtual networks: a service network and a control network; and define access control rules for each virtual network. In the service network, SAPSIN utilizes a service-based approach to control device access, allowing only configured protocol, applications, network ports, or address groups to enter or exit the network. In control network, the SAPSIN provides the access control rules by defining a threshold for the number of configuration requests within a predetermined time. As a result, SAPSIN protects IoT devices against intrusion and misuse, without the need for device-specific software or device-specific security hardening.

In one embodiment, a telemetry exporter in a network establishes a tunnel between the telemetry exporter and a traffic analysis service. The telemetry exporter obtains packet copies of a plurality of packets sent between devices via the network. The telemetry exporter forms a set of traffic telemetry data by discarding at least a portion of one or more of the packet copies, based on a filter policy. The telemetry exporter applies compression to the formed set of traffic telemetry data. The telemetry exporter sends, via the tunnel, the compressed set of traffic telemetry data to the traffic analysis service for analysis.

A method and system for protecting against quick UDP Internet connection (QUIC) based denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The system comprises extracting traffic features from at least traffic directed to a protected entity, wherein the traffic features demonstrate behavior of QUIC user datagram protocol (UDP) traffic directed to the protected entity, wherein the extract traffic features include at least one rate-base feature and at least one rate-invariant feature, and wherein the at least traffic includes QUIC packets; computing at least one baseline for each of the at least one rate-base feature and the at least one rate-invariant feature; and analyzing real-time samples of traffic directed to the protected entity to detect a deviation from each of the at least one computed baseline, wherein the deviation is indicative of a detected QUIC DDoS attack; and causing execution of at least one mitigation action when an indication of the detected QUIC DDoS attack is determined.

A client application establishes a connection between the client application and an origin server over one or more networks. The application generates a request to establish a secure session with the origin server over the connection. The request includes information, in a header of the request, that flags traffic sent during the secure session to a network of the one or more networks as subject to one or more optimizations performed by the network. Subsequent to establishing the secure session, the application encrypts the traffic in accordance with the secure session and sends the traffic to the origin server over the connection, subject to the one or more optimizations. The infrastructure service applies the one or more optimizations to the traffic as it passes through the edge network to the origin server.

Technical problems and their solution are disclosed regarding the location of mobile devices requesting services near a site from a server. Embodiments adapt and/or configure the transmitting device near the site, the mobile device communicating with the transmitting device using a short haul wireless communications protocol to deliver a token based upon a key shared with the server but invisible to the mobile device. The server can determine the proximity of the mobile device to the site to control actuation of the requested service or disable the service request, and possibly flushing the service request from the server. Solutions are disclosed for traffic intersections involving one or more traffic lights, elevators in buildings, fire alarms in buildings and valet parking facilities.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5.sup.th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution. Methods and systems for mitigating Denial of Service (DOS) attacks in wireless networks, by performing admission control by verifying a User Equipment's (UE's) registration request via a Closed Access Group (CAG) cell without performing a primary authentication are provided. Embodiments herein disclose methods and system for verifying permissions of the UE to access a CAG cell based on the UE's Subscription identifier, before performing the primary authentication. The method for mitigating DOS attacks in wireless networks includes requesting a public land mobile network for accessing a non-public network (NPN) through a CAG cell, verifying the permissions of a UE to access the requested NPN through the CAG cell, and performing a primary authentication.

Systems and methods include, responsive to security research identifying a zero-day Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE), receiving the associated signatures of the zero-day CVE; responsive to determining a user can access an application via a cloud-based system, wherein the application is in one of a public cloud, a private cloud, and an enterprise network, and wherein the user is remote over the Internet, obtaining an inspection profile for the user with the inspection profile including a plurality of rules; performing inspection of transactions after the access using the plurality of rules including a rule for identifying the zero-day CVE; and responsive to results of any of the plurality of rules, one or more of monitoring, allowing, blocking, and redirecting the access, via the cloud-based system.

An in-vehicle communication network of a vehicle is monitored. An illicit signal is detected on the in-vehicle communication network. Whether the illicit signal satisfies a threshold severity condition is determined. A denial of service (DoS) operation with respect to at least part of the in-vehicle communication network is performed responsive to determining that the illicit signal satisfies the threshold severity condition.

Example implementations relate to the processing of refresh token requests at an API gateway. The API gateway determines a first time associated with receipt of the refresh token request and a second time associated with the generation of a current access token. The current access token and a refresh token in the refresh token request are provided by the API gateway to the client device for accessing a backend service. The API gateway determines whether a difference between the first time and the second time is within a pre-defined threshold duration. When the difference between the first time and the second time is within the pre-defined threshold, the API gateway denies the refresh token request for generating the new access token and transmits the current access token back to the client device.
