Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate generally to network-based threat detection mechanisms. Specifically, embodiments described herein describe a communication mechanism that filters (e.g., allows or blocks) received communications according to an iterative security list.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- generating, by a communications mechanism, an iterative rule list comprising a sequential set of access control rules;
- applying, by the communications mechanism, the iterative rules list to a filtering mechanism;
- receiving, by the filtering mechanism, a first communication;
- determining, by the filtering mechanism, an iteration value identifying a number of iterations to perform based on the iterative rule list;
- identifying, by the filtering mechanism, a first attribute associated with a first iteration rule within the iterative rule list;
- parsing, by the filtering mechanism, the first communication to determine a first communication attribute;
- comparing, by the filtering mechanism, data associated with the first communication attribute to data associated with the first attribute to determine a first positive match;
- and
- based at least in part on the first positive match, blocking the first communication from being received at a destination.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions for causing at least one computer system to perform one or more operations, the instructions comprising:
- generating an iterative rule list comprising a sequential set of access control rules;
- applying the iterative rules list to a filtering mechanism;
- receiving, by the filtering mechanism, a first communication;
- determining, by the filtering mechanism, an iteration value identifying a number of iterations to perform based on the iterative rule list;
- identifying, by the filter mechanism, a first attribute associated with a first iteration rule within the iterative rule list;
- parsing, by the filtering mechanism, the first communication to determine a first communication attribute;
- comparing, by the filtering mechanism, data associated with the first communication attribute to data associated with the first attribute to determine a first positive match;
- and
- based at least in part on the first positive match, blocking the first communication from being received at a destination.
6 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled with the one or more processors, the memory configured to store instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- generate an iterative rule list comprising a sequential set of access control rules;
- receive a first communication;
- determine an iteration value identifying a number of iterations to perform based on the iterative rule list;
- identify a first attribute associated with a first iteration rule within the iterative rule list;
- parse the first communication to determine a first communication attribute;
- compare data associated with the first communication attribute to data associated with the first attribute to determine a first positive match;
- and
- based at least in part on the first positive match, block the first communication from being received at a destination.
