Abstract
A method provides for associating reputation scores with policies, stacks and hosts within a network and upon receiving information about a newly provisioned entity (such as a host or a stack), recommending a policy scheme for the newly provisioned entity that will result in a particular reputation score of the reputation scores. The method further includes implementing the policy scheme for the newly provisioned entity.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- associating reputation scores with policies, stacks and hosts within a network, wherein the reputation scores are based at least in part on data received from a first capturing agent at a physical layer in a network, a second capturing agent at a hypervisor layer in the network, and a third capturing agent at a virtual layer of the network;
- upon receiving information about a newly provisioned entity, recommending a policy scheme for the newly provisioned entity that will result in a particular reputation score of the reputation scores;
- and
- implementing the policy scheme for the newly provisioned entity.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- associating reputation scores with policies, stacks and hosts within a network, wherein the reputation scores are based at least in part on data received from a first capturing agent at a physical layer in a network, a second capturing agent at a hypervisor layer in the network, and a third capturing device at a virtual layer of the network;
- upon receiving information about a newly provisioned entity, recommending a policy scheme for the newly provisioned entity that will result in a particular reputation score of the reputation scores;
- and
- implementing the policy scheme for the newly provisioned entity.
A computer-readable storage device storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- associating reputation scores with policies, stacks and hosts within a network, wherein the reputation scores are based at least in part on data received from a first capturing agent at a physical layer in a network, a second capturing agent at a hypervisor layer in the network, and a third capturing device at a virtual layer of the network;
- upon receiving information about a newly provisioned entity, recommending a policy scheme for the newly provisioned entity that will result in a particular reputation score of the reputation scores;
- and
- implementing the policy scheme for the newly provisioned entity.
