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 using a training data set to create a normal behavior model for a cloud native VM, defining capabilities based on behaviors detected by the machine learning model, and monitoring the VM's execution to detect deviations from the normal behavior model caused by abnormal behaviors. The system aims to enhance security by identifying and responding to unauthorized activities within cloud native VM environments.

The patent's claims detail the method's steps, including training the machine learning model, defining capabilities with hierarchical relationships, correlating behaviors, and uploading the normal behavior model to a cloud service for enhanced security. The claims also cover the generation of a normal behavior model, detection of deviations from the model, and the use of behavioral rules to indicate allowed and denied behaviors. Overall, the patent focuses on leveraging machine learning and behavioral analysis to protect cloud native VMs from abnormal activities and unauthorized behaviors, ultimately enhancing security measures in cloud computing environments.
