Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for compliance management in a network. Embodiments include receiving, by a manager, a system health plugin. Embodiments include determining a configuration change for a network. Embodiments include receiving data indicating a current security posture of the network. Embodiments include determining an impact to the security posture of the network based on the configuration change. Embodiments include generating a notification relating to the impact to the security posture of the network. Embodiments include receiving a decision relating to the configuration change in response to the notification. Embodiments include performing an action based on the decision.

Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein relate to methods and systems for detecting unexpected behavior associated with a process. In certain embodiments, a method comprises receiving a memory allocation request, the request indicating one or more memory segments to be allocated in memory of a computing system. The method further comprises allocating the one or more memory segments in the memory based on the memory allocation request. The method further comprises allocating one or more decoy memory segments in the memory based on the memory allocation request. The method further comprises trapping an input/output (I/O) operation. The method further comprises detecting an unexpected behavior associated with the I/O operation based on determining that the I/O operation impacts at least one of the one or more decoy memory segments. The method further comprises performing one or more actions based on the detection.

Abstract: To populate an entropy pool with entropy from external sources, a computer system transmits, to multiple entropy sources, a request to receive entropy. At least one of the multiple entropy sources is an external source that is external and operatively connected to the computer system. The computer system receives entropy from the external source. The computer system stores the entropy received from the external source in an entropy storage medium. The computer system receives, from a client computer system, a request for entropy to be used by the client computer system to implement a random number generation algorithm. In response to receiving the request, the computer system provides a portion of the stored entropy. The portion of the stored entropy provided in response to receiving the request includes the entropy received from the external source.
