Preventing data exfiltration from secure network
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888865B2) discloses a method and system for preventing data exfiltration from a secure network. The method involves receiving and inspecting internet protocol (IP) packets at a device in a secure network zone, determining if the packet complies with predetermined policies, identifying and removing any data that violates the format, and transmitting the packet if it meets the criteria. The system includes a processor and network interface for carrying out these functions, ensuring that data exfiltration attempts are thwarted effectively.
Specific scenarios are outlined in the patent claims, such as dealing with Domain Name System (DNS) packets, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets, and Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) packets. The system is designed to detect unsolicited responses, messages exceeding certain lengths, and non-conformance with protocol standards, among other criteria. By logging and truncating payloads based on expected sizes and formats, the method and system provide a robust defense mechanism against unauthorized data exfiltration attempts. Overall, the patent details a comprehensive approach to safeguarding secure networks from potential breaches and data leaks, enhancing cybersecurity measures in an increasingly interconnected digital landscape.
