    摘要: The technology disclosed teaches protecting sensitive data in the cloud via indexable databases. The method includes identifying sensitive fields of metadata for encryption and for hashing. The method also includes hashing at least partial values in the indexable sensitive fields to non-reversible hash values, concatenating the non-reversible hash values with the metadata for the network events, and encrypting the sensitive fields of metadata. Also included is sending the metadata for the network events, with the non-reversible hash values and the encrypted sensitive fields, to a remote database server that does not have a decryption key for the encrypted sensitive fields and that indexes the non-reversible hash values for indexed retrieval against the indexable sensitive fields. The disclosed technology also teaches retrieving sensitive information that is secured at rest: receiving a sensitive field query, hashing the query, querying and receiving network event metadata responsive to the query, and decrypting the metadata.

    摘要: The technology disclosed relates to detecting a data attack on a local file system. The detecting includes scanning a list to identify files of the local file system that have been updated within a timeframe, reading payloads of files identified by the scanning, calculating current content properties from the payload of the files, obtaining historical content properties of the files, determining that a malicious activity is in process by analyzing the current content properties and the historical content properties to identify a pattern of changes that exceeds a predetermined change velocity. Further, the detecting includes determining that the malicious activity is in process by analyzing the current content properties and known patterns of malicious metadata to identify a match between the current metadata and the known patterns of malicious metadata, determining a machine/user that initiated the malicious activity, and implementing a response mechanism that restricts file modifications by the machine/user.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method for accessing a hosted service on client devices is described. The client devices include client software that uses a remotely delivered policy to redirect network requests for hosted services to a server to enforce visibility, policy and data security for network delivered services. The method can be used in conjunction with existing VPN and proxy solutions, but provides distinct additional functionality, particularly suited to corporate needs. Policies allow entities to centralize enforcement of service-specific restrictions across networks and communication channels, e.g. only certain users can download client records from a service—irrespective of the network used to access the service.

    摘要: The technology disclosed relates to reducing error in security enforcement by a network security system (abbreviated NSS). The NSS classifies incoming connection access requests as loss prevention inspectable or connection preserving by determining their conformance or non-conformance with semantic and content requirements of HTTP and HTTPs protocols. The NSS forwards the loss prevention inspectable connection access requests to a data inspection and loss prevention appliance (abbreviated DILPA) for deep inspection. The NSS directly sends the connection preserving connection access requests to the destination servers, preventing connection termination and error generation.
