Application: Cloud native virtual machine runtime protection (Patent ID: US20230418637A1)

The patent filed by Palo Alto Networks Inc. describes a system and method for cloud native virtual machine (VM) runtime protection. The method involves training a machine learning model to detect normal behavior of services on a cloud native VM, defining capabilities based on detected behaviors, generating a normal behavior model, and detecting deviations from this model caused by abnormal behaviors. The system utilizes hierarchical relationships, behavioral rules, and correlations among behaviors to enhance the normal behavior model and ensure runtime protection of cloud native VMs.

The patent also includes claims for a method, a non-transitory machine-readable medium, and an apparatus implementing the described system and method. These claims detail the steps involved in training the machine learning model, defining capabilities, generating the normal behavior model, and detecting deviations. Additionally, the claims specify the inclusion of hierarchical relationships, behavioral rules, and correlations among behaviors in the process. The patent aims to provide an effective and comprehensive solution for protecting cloud native VM runtimes by leveraging machine learning models and behavior analysis to detect and respond to abnormal behaviors in real-time.
