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 ensure high-speed network connectivity from various regional cloud-based computing service data centers to SaaS providers. Additionally, customers can configure unique security policies associated with their public IP address pools, and the network gateway enforces security policies, potentially including virtual firewall capabilities. The patent also covers methods and computer program products embodying these techniques, emphasizing the importance of maintaining secure and localized access to SaaS through cloud-based security services.
