If so, IAA may create a flow instance, assign a unique instance ID, and place the flow instance in one of a plurality of jobs queues based on alert/event type and/or or source. An abattoir system retrieves a flow instance from one of the jobs queues (in order of the queue's priority), and processes the next node or step in the flow instance. The flow instance is placed back into the jobs queue for subsequent processing by the same or different abattoir system until no additional nodes or steps remain in the flow, at which point the flow instance is considered complete.
Systems and methods for enforcing compliance-program conformity during authorization-token generation are presented. Applications may be registered with an identity and access management (IAM) system. The registration of the application may include whether the application is subject to one or more compliance program(s). When an authorization token is requested from the IAM system, the IAM system may (a) determine the set of authorization information needed in the token, and (b) determine whether the application is subject to a compliance program. The IAM system may then check an approval source of record to determine whether the user was legitimately approved for the required authorization prior to granting an authorization token. If there is a mismatch between the approval source of record and the authorization information associated with the user identity, then the mismatch may cause certain mitigation actions to be performed.

EDGE COMPUTE ENVIRONMENT AUTOMATIC SERVER CONFIGURATION TOOL
A server configuration tool is presented for autonomously configuring servers located in a network. The tool may autonomously configure multiple servers in parallel based on individual states of the servers, which may be periodically and simultaneously determined. For example, the tool may determine which action to take to begin or continue configuring the server based on the present state of each server. Server states (and corresponding actions) can be edited through a user interface to alter the server configuration process without code changes. At any one time, multiple servers may be in different states requiring different configuration operations to configure the servers to be ready for use. The present systems and methods can be used to move multiple servers iteratively through different configuration actions based on the individual state of each server and to perform non-conflicting configuration operations for multiple servers in parallel.
Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, for encoding a firewall ruleset into one or more bit arrays for fast determination of processing of a received communication packet by a firewall device associated with a network. Through this bitmap, a number of computation operations needed to determine a processing rule for a received packet is significantly reduced compared to the traditional approach of using a hash or a longest prefix match technique. Rather, determining a processing rule for a received packet may include determining a bit value within one or more arrays. In one implementation, a firewall rule may be encoded into a 64-bit array of bit values in which each bit of the array corresponds to a particular processing rule for a particular network address. The firewall rule may be encoded into a bitmap array of bit values by asserting a particular bit within the array.

The computing system may analyze the received first SIP data to determine whether the received first SIP data comprises any abnormalities indicative of potential fraudulent or malicious actions. If so, the computing system may reroute the first SIP data to a security deep packet inspection (“DPI”) engine, which may perform a deep scan of the received first SIP data to identify any known fraudulent or malicious attack vectors contained within the received first SIP data. If so, the security DPI engine may initiate mitigation actions.
A dynamic SRMS (DSRMS) in a MPLS network generates unique segment identifiers for nodes of the network lacking segment identifiers (SIDs). The DSRMS receives network information from other nodes of the network that may include, for example, Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing information, advertised prefix values for the nodes, and label values used in MPLS routing. The DSRMS analyzes the information and identifies nodes of the network that are not associated with a SID. For each identified node, the DSRMS generates a unique SID and then announces the SID to other nodes within the network. Generating the unique SID may include executing a hashing function using the IP address of the identified node as an input.

Configuration information for the network elements of the network connection path is aggregated for a configuration system. The configuration information is used to provision the network connection.
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing name-based routing through networks. In various embodiments, a broker manager in each of a plurality of networks may receive a subscription request for a network device from a client device, each device being locally accessible or disposed in an upstream or downstream network. The broker manager uses its client broker to communicate with a locally accessible client device, and uses its mediator broker (and, sometimes, an intermediate device(s)) to communicate with a locally accessible network device. The broker manager otherwise uses its messaging brokers to communicate with control channels of one or more networks. Once subscription with the network device has been established, any commands and responses between the client device and the network device may be routed over pub/sub channels via the broker managers and their brokers using name-based routing, without routing based on IP address of the network device.

System and method for utilization of firewall policies for network security
Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, for encoding a firewall ruleset into one or more bit arrays for fast determination of processing of a received communication packet by a firewall device associated with a network. Through this bitmap, a number of computation operations needed to determine a processing rule for a received packet is significantly reduced compared to the traditional approach of using a hash or a longest prefix match technique. Rather, determining a processing rule for a received packet may include determining a bit value within one or more arrays. In one implementation, a firewall rule may be encoded into a 64-bit array of bit values in which each bit of the array corresponds to a particular processing rule for a particular network address. The firewall rule may be encoded into a bitmap array of bit values by asserting a particular bit within the array.
