US 2016/0366186 A1 · DATA SOCKET DESCRIPTOR BASED POLICIES FOR APPLICATION AND DATA BEHAVIOR AND SECURITY

Abstract

In one embodiment, a system includes a processing circuit and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processing circuit. The logic is configured to cause the processing circuit to maintain application and data security policies at a data socket descriptor level. The logic is also configured to cause the processing circuit to manage behavior and security of data socket descriptors used by application instances executed on virtual and/or physical compute platforms. According to another embodiment, a method includes maintaining application and data security policies at a data socket descriptor level and managing behavior and security of data socket descriptors used by application instances executed on virtual and/or physical compute platforms.
