Application: Localization at scale for a cloud-based security service (Patent ID: US20240214349A1)
The patent filed by Palo Alto Networks Inc. describes techniques for providing localization at scale for a cloud-based security service. The system/method/computer program product involves receiving a connection request at a network gateway, performing source Network Address Translation (NAT) from a registered set of public IP addresses associated with a tenant, and providing secure access to a Software as a Service (SaaS) using the cloud-based security service. This approach aims to enhance user experience by associating the egress IP from the network gateway with the region of the user sending the connection request, ensuring a localized experience for SaaS users.
Furthermore, the system maintains distinct public IP address pools for each customer/tenant, allowing for a more secure solution compared to sharing IP address pools across customers. The cloud-based security service utilizes a public cloud service provider or multiple providers to provide high-speed network connectivity from various regional cloud-based computing service data centers to SaaS providers. Customers can configure unique security policies associated with their public IP address pool, ensuring tailored security measures. The system enforces security policies through a network gateway, which may include a virtual firewall, and determines the zone associated with new sessions based on secure tunnel configurations or domains associated with the connection request.
