SYSTEM AND METHOD TO IMPROVE NETWORK SECURITY

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention enable an organization's system to disavow false network load/traffic from overwhelming its servers. The system includes a processor, and a memory having instructions executable by the processor to determine load on its network. If the load on the network is more than a considerable limit then the system may enable shadow servers to move to a new but randomly selected location by replicating its current state and data to the new location. Additionally, the legitimate clients may always be updated about the new location of the shadow server. This may allow the legitimate clients of the system to follow the shadow server and enjoy the services. However, the illegal clients may not be able to predict the new location of the shadow server and thus may not harm their targeted set of services.

主权项

1. A system for improving security in a network having a plurality of entities therein, the system comprising:
a processor; and a memory comprising one or more instructions, executable by the processor, for:
providing a network topology corresponding to an active shadow server to a valid entity of the plurality of entities, the network topology being provided to enable the valid entity to establish communication with the shadow server present at a first location, wherein an address of the shadow server is changed from the first location to a second location based on one or more criteria, and wherein the second location is unknown to the plurality of entities of the network.
