US Patent 11722554, titled "System and method for analyzing network objects in a cloud environment," was granted to Wiz Inc. The inventors are Shai Keren, Danny Shemesh, Roy Reznik, Ami Luttwak, and Avihai Berkovitz. The patent was filed on August 12, 2022, and issued on August 8, 2023.

Abstract:
The patent describes a method and system for identifying abnormal configurations of network objects within a cloud computing environment. This involves collecting data on various network objects, building a network graph (which includes a visual representation of these objects), determining the relationships and connections between them, and then analyzing this graph and relationships to produce insights. These insights specifically include a list of abnormal connections between the identified network objects.

Independent Claims Overview:

• Independent Claim 1 (Method Claim): This claim outlines a method for detecting abnormal configurations of network objects in a cloud environment. It involves collecting data about network objects, creating a visual network graph from this data, identifying relationships (connections) between the objects in the graph, analyzing these relationships and the graph to generate "insights" (which must include abnormal connections), and finally, tagging the network objects for which insights are generated.
• Independent Claim 11 (Non-Transitory Computer Readable Medium Claim): This claim is for a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions. When these instructions are executed by processing circuitry, they cause the circuitry to perform the same method steps as described in Claim 1: collecting network object data, constructing a visual network graph, determining relationships between identified objects, analyzing the graph and relationships to generate insights (including abnormal connections), and tagging the relevant network objects.
• Independent Claim 12 (System Claim): This claim describes a system designed to detect abnormal network object configurations in a cloud environment. The system comprises processing circuitry and memory containing instructions. When executed by the circuitry, these instructions configure the system to perform the same steps as detailed in Claim 1: collecting network object data, building a visual network graph, identifying relationships between objects, analyzing the graph and relationships to produce insights (including abnormal connections), and tagging network objects associated with the insights.
