Edge to multi-cloud data processing and governance

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a networking device at an edge of a network extracts data from traffic in the network using a plurality of protocol connectors of the networking device. The networking device normalizes the data extracted from the traffic in the network, to form normalized data. The networking device applies a data transformation to the normalized data, to form transformed data. The networking device identifies, based on a policy, one or more cloud providers as being authorized to receive the transformed data. The networking device sends the transformed data to the one or more cloud providers.
