METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING CLOUD-BASED APPLICATIONS EXECUTED IN A CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM
First Claim
1. A method for protecting cloud-based applications executed in a cloud computing platform, comprising:
- intercepting traffic flows from a plurality of client devices to the cloud computing platform, wherein each of the plurality of client devices is associated with a user attempting to access a cloud-based application;
extracting at least one parameter from the intercepted traffic related to at least each client device and a respective user attempting to access the cloud-based application;
determining based on, the at least one parameter and at least a set of parameters combining cloud-based application risk factors for a provider of the cloud computing platform, a risk indicator for the user attempting to access the cloud-based application; and
performing an action to mitigate a potential risk to the cloud computing platform based on the determined risk indicator.

21. A system for reconstructing application-layer traffic flowing between a plurality client devices and a cloud computing platform, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to; intercept traffic flows from a plurality of client devices to the cloud computing platform, wherein each of the plurality of client devices is associated with a user attempting to access a cloud-based application; extract at least one parameter from the intercepted traffic related to at least each client device and a respective user attempting to access the cloud-based application; determine based on, the at least one parameter and at least a set of parameters combining cloud-based application risk factors for a provider of the cloud computing platform, a risk indicator for the user attempting to access the cloud-based application; and perform an action to mitigate a potential risk to the cloud computing platform based on the determined risk indicator. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
