Securing Physical and Virtual IT Assets Without Hardware Firewalls or VLANs - A New Approach: An Identity-Aware Network Inside the Perimeter

For security administrators at large corporations, the growing management complexity of internal firewalls and Virtual LANs VLANs presents significant security challenges. The growing reliance on Virtual Machines VMs also introduces significant security vulnerabilities. Communication between VMs is fully undetected by traditional hardware firewalls. In addition, when VMs move, they usually...

Resource-Aware Deployment and Configuration of QoS-Enabled Middleware

Ad hoc Deployment and Configuration (D&C) of fault-tolerance mechanisms can lead to unacceptable response times, overloads, and low-availability for soft real-time applications. This paper describes how the Quality-of-Service QoS-enabled middleware called DeCoRAM Deployment and Configuration Reasoning via Analysis and Modeling provides a holistic and automated solution to fault-tolerance and real-time...

An Information-Theoretical View of Network-Aware Malware Attacks

This paper investigates three aspects: a network vulnerability as the non-uniform vulnerable-host distribution, threats, i.e., intelligent malwares that exploit such a vulnerability, and defense, i.e., challenges for fighting the threats. They first study five large data sets and observe consistent clustered vulnerable-host distributions. They then present a new metric, referred...

Conflict-Aware Load-Balancing Techniques for Database Replication

Middleware-based database replication protocols are more portable and flexible than kernel-based protocols, but have coarser-grain information about transaction access data, resulting in reduced concurrency and increased aborts. This paper proposes conflict-aware load-balancing techniques to increase the concurrency and reduce the abort rate of middleware-based replication protocols. Experimental evaluation using a...
