Network threat detection and enforcement for endpoint hosts
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888877B2) outlines a method and device for managing endpoint hosts connected to a network and network segments. The method involves generating a data structure of endpoint hosts, updating it based on session changes, identifying hosts that change location within network segments, determining actions to enforce, and causing these actions to be enforced by the network control system. The device includes processors and memories to generate data structures, update them, identify endpoint hosts, determine threat policy actions, and enforce them automatically. The device also processes network topology information, determines capabilities of network elements, and stores this information in data structures for effective threat management.
Furthermore, the patent describes a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for generating data structures of endpoint hosts, updating them based on session changes, identifying hosts that change location within network segments, determining actions to enforce, and causing these actions to be enforced by the network control system. The instructions also include tagging host threats with specific identifications, monitoring host threat traffic, providing information to a management device, processing network topology information, and utilizing artificial intelligence models for efficient threat management. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive method and device for managing endpoint hosts, network segments, and threat policies effectively within a network environment, enhancing security and control measures for network administrators and operators.
