Abstract
A method protects a computer asset by identifying a particular signature, which is software that causes a particular gateway to block an intrusion from reaching a particular computer asset, and installs the particular signature on the particular gateway, thus protecting the computer asset from the intrusion.
Claims18
A method for protecting a computer asset, the method comprising:
- identifying a particular signature, wherein the particular signature is software that causes a particular gateway to block an intrusion from reaching a particular computer asset having a particular asset context;
- training a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to identify the particular gateway by inputting the particular signature and the particular asset context into the DNN;
- identifying the particular gateway by inputting the particular asset context and the particular signature into the trained DNN;
- and
- installing the particular signature on the particular gateway.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, and wherein the program code is readable and executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
- identifying a particular signature, wherein the particular signature is software that causes a particular gateway to block an intrusion from reaching a particular computer asset having a particular asset context;
- training a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to identify the particular gateway by inputting the particular signature and the particular asset context into the DNN;
- identifying the particular gateway by inputting the particular asset context and the particular signature into the trained DNN;
- installing the particular signature on the particular gateway.
A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer readable memories, and one or more computer readable non-transitory storage mediums, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable non-transitory storage mediums for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer readable memories, the stored program instructions executed to perform a method comprising:
- identifying a particular signature, wherein the particular signature is software that causes a particular gateway to block an intrusion from reaching a particular computer asset having a particular asset context;
- training a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to identify the particular gateway by inputting the particular signature and the particular asset context into the DNN;
- identifying the particular gateway by inputting the particular asset context and the particular signature into the trained DNN;
- installing the particular signature on the particular gateway.
