<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dynamically and adaptively manage security policies within a network. <P>SOLUTION: Security policy repository houses security policies that are pushed over the network by a policy decision point PDP to appropriate security-enabled devices (policy enforcement points (PEPs)) for enforcement. Using a closed feedback loop, a policy feedback point (PEP) collects and processes data from intrusions, alerts, violations, and other abnormal behaviors from a variety of PEPs or logs produced from PEPs. This data is sent as feedback to the policy repository. The PDP detects the data and analyzes it to determine if policy updates (which can be dynamic and automatic) need to be adaptively made and dynamically pushed to PEPs. The PDP can also send console messages or alerts to consoles or administrators. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
