Abstract
An out-of-path defense platform protecting against excessive utilization of a cloud service providing a cloud hosted application comprising a controller communicatively coupled to a detector and a mitigator; wherein the detector receives telemetries from sources that are configured to collect telemetries related to the traffic between end user devices and an edge network that distributes traffic for the cloud hosted application, the telemetries being out-of-path information for traffic to and from the cloud-hosted application, wherein a portion of the telemetries relate to operation of a portion of a cloud computing platform hosting the cloud-hosted application, and detects, using the collected telemetries and a learned normal utilization behavior of each cloud service for the cloud-hosted application, excessive utilization of a cloud service by the cloud hosted application; and wherein the controller, upon detection of the excessive utilization, causes mitigation, by the mitigator, of the excessive utilization of each cloud service.
