Abstract
The present application is directed a computer-implemented method for enhancing security. The method includes a step of sending, from a VPN service provider, a request to a cloud provider to create a dynamic server on a cloud. Then, the VPN service provider receives a notification from the cloud provider that the requested server is available on the cloud. Subsequently, the VPN service provider embeds the dynamic server with a VPN service. Further, the VPN service provider sends a credential of the dynamic server to an entity on the network. The application is also directed to system for enhancing security on a cloud server.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method for enhancing security on a network comprising:
- sending, from a virtual private network (VPN) service provider, a request to a cloud provider to create a server on a cloud independent of an enterprise selection of the cloud server;
- receiving a notification from the cloud provider that the requested server is available on the cloud;
- embedding the server with a VPN service;
- sending, from the VPN service provider, a credential of the embedded server to the enterprise on the network;
- reviewing, via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the VPN service provider, a list of servers created by the cloud provider;
- determining, via the GUI of the VPN service provider, which users in the enterprise to match with the generated servers;
- evaluating on a portal on the GUI of the VPN service provider, progress of server generation by the cloud provider and one or more additional cloud providers;
- and
- ranking efficiency of the cloud provider and the one or more additional cloud providers based on the evaluating step.
A computer-implemented system in a cloud computing environment for enhancing network security comprising:
- a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon for embedding a server with a virtual private network (VPN);
- a transceiver, operably coupled to the memory, for receiving and sending data;
- and
- a processor operably coupled to the memory and the transceiver, the processor configured to execute the instructions of:
- receiving, at a VPN service provider, a request from an enterprise to create a dynamic server that directs traffic of a user on the network to the internet;
- sending, from the VPN service provider, a request to a cloud provider to create the dynamic server;
- receiving a notification from the cloud provider that the requested server is available on a cloud;
- embedding the server with a VPN service;
- sending, from the VPN service provider, a credential of the embedded server to the enterprise;
- reviewing, via a graphical user interface of the VPN service provider, a list of generated servers by the cloud provider;
- determining, via the graphical user interface, users in the enterprise to match with the generated servers;
- evaluating on a portal on the GUI of the VPN service provider, progress of server generation by the cloud provider and one or more additional cloud providers;
- and
- ranking efficiency of the cloud provider and the one or more additional cloud providers based on the evaluating step.
