Application: Cloud native virtual machine runtime protection (Patent ID: US20230418637A1)

The patent filed by Palo Alto Networks Inc. describes a system and method for cloud native virtual machine (VM) runtime protection. The method involves training a machine learning model to detect normal behavior of services on a cloud native VM, defining capabilities based on detected behaviors, generating a normal behavior model, and detecting deviations from this model caused by abnormal behaviors. The capabilities include allowed and denied behaviors for each service, and the method can detect abnormal behaviors using the trained machine learning model or by checking against defined capabilities.

The patent also includes claims related to defining capabilities based on hierarchical relationships, using behavioral rules to define behaviors, correlating behaviors among services, uploading the normal behavior model to a cloud service, and enhancing defined capabilities with behavioral rules for runtime execution. The method involves training the machine learning model on a variety of discrete behaviors such as running processes, using input arguments, and accessing file paths. By creating a normal behavior model and monitoring for deviations, this system aims to provide effective runtime protection for cloud native VMs by detecting abnormal behaviors that are not part of the defined capabilities.
