Abstract
Disclosed herein are a system, computer-readable medium, and method for enforcing network policies. Samples of data traveling through at least some nodes of a network are collected. It is determined whether a node violated a predefined network policy based on the samples.
Claims17
A system comprising,
- a network comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes;
- a plurality of sensors which, if executed, instruct at least one processor to collect samples of data traveling through at least some nodes in the network;
- a network service sentinel which, if executed, instructs at least one processor to:
- determine whether a node violates a predefined network policy based on the samples;
- and
- if the node violates the predefined network policy, generate an alert containing an identification of the node and the predefined network policy being violated by the node.
3 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions therein which, if executed, instruct at least one processor to:
- read samples collected by a plurality of sensors distributed across a network of interconnected nodes, the samples comprising network data packets traveling through at least some nodes in the network;
- determine whether a node violates a predefined network policy based on the collected samples;
- and
- if the node violates the predefined network policy, identify the node violating the predefined network policy and generate an alert to indicate the predefined network policy violated by the node.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- reading, using at least one processor, samples of network data packets traveling through at least some nodes of a network;
- determining, using at least one processor, whether a node violates a predefined network policy based on the samples;
- and
- if the node violates the predefined network policy, displaying, using at least one processor, an alert identifying the node and indicating the predefined network policy violated by the node.
