Understanding and mediating among diversely structured operational policies

Abstract:

Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for automatically processing diversely structured operational policies. Techniques include identifying a policy associated with an application or computer code; applying a language processing protocol to the policy to interpret the policy and extract attribute(s) of the policy, where the policy is defined using a vocabulary and syntax; normalizing the policy to define the policy using a standardized vocabulary and syntax agnostic to an infrastructure or service associated with the application or computer code, where one or more of the vocabulary and syntax are respectively different from the standardized vocabulary and syntax and where normalizing the policy comprises translating the attribute(s) of the policy; and evaluating the policy based on the normalizing to determine whether a potentially malicious activity is associated with the application or computer code.
