Abstract: A system and a method to determine attack paths to application assets may include storing in a memory asset inventory indicating multiple application assets, multiple attack vector parameters configured to indicate vulnerabilities of one or more of the application assets, and asset mapping information configured to associate each of the application assets to one or more of the application layers. A processor may determine multiple vulnerable assets in the application assets based at least in part upon the attack vector parameters. Further, the processor may determine feasibility parameters that indicate a likelihood of the attack path to occur in the system, generate a visual interface showing the vulnerable assets, determine an attack path connecting the vulnerable assets based at least in part upon the asset mapping information, and map the attack path to the application layers in the visual interface based at least in part upon the feasibility parameters.

Abstract: A method of defining priority of a number of data packets within a queue includes generating a policy. The policy defines a first multiplexed channel of a plurality of multiplexed channels. The first multiplexed channel having a first priority. The policy also defines a second multiplexed channel of the plurality of multiplexed channels. The second multiplexed channel having a second priority. The first priority is defined as being of a higher priority relative to the second priority. The method further includes receiving the number of data packets over the plurality of multiplexed channels associated with a session based at least in part on the policy.

Abstract: Techniques for using a single sign-on (SSO) service as a software defined networking (SDN) controller for a virtual private network environment. The techniques disclosed herein may include receiving, at a first authentication service, first data including a first request to authenticate a user of a client device to access an application. The techniques may also include sending, to the client device, second data representing a second request configured to prompt a second authentication service to authenticate the user of the client device. Additionally, the first authentication service may receive an indication that the user was authenticated by the second authentication service and determine, based at least in part on an attribute associated with at least one of the client device or the application, whether the client device is to access the application using an unsecured connection or, alternatively, access the application using a secured connection.

Abstract: An example method is provided in one example embodiment and may include configuring a measurement indication for a packet; forwarding the packet through a service chain comprising one or more service functions; recording measurement information for the packet as it is forwarded through the service chain; and managing capacity for the service chain based, at least in part, on the measurement information. In some cases, the method can include determining end-to-end measurement information for the service chain using the recorded measurement information. In some cases, managing capacity for the service chain can further include identifying a particular service function as a bottleneck service function for the service chain; and increasing capacity for the bottleneck service. In various instances, increasing capacity for the bottleneck service can include at least one of: instantiating additional instances of the bottleneck service; and instantiating additional instances of the service chain.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving at a network element an encapsulated packet including an encapsulation header, in which the encapsulation header includes an Analytics Proxy Function (“APF”) flag; determining whether the APF flag is set to a first value; if the APF flag is set to the first value, forwarding the encapsulated packet to a local APF instance associated with the network element, in which the encapsulated packet is processed by the local APF instance to replicate at least a portion of the encapsulated packet, construct a record of the encapsulated packet, or both; and if the APF flag is not set to the first value, omitting forwarding the encapsulated packet to the local APF instance associated with the network element. The local APF instance is implemented as a service function anchored at the forwarding element.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving at a network element a packet associated with a flow and determining whether a flow cache of the network element includes an entry for the flow indicating a classification for the flow. The method further includes, if the network element flow cache does not include an entry for the flow, punting the packet over a default path to a classifying service function, in which the classifying service function classifies the flow and determines a control plane service function for handling the flow, and receiving from the classifying service function a service path identifier (“SPI”) of a service path leading to the determined control plane service function. The flow is subsequently offloaded from the classifying service function to the network element.
