US Patent 11496524 Securely managing network connections

The disclosure relates generally to methods, systems, and apparatuses for managing network connections. A method may include comparing a list of expected connections among a set of endpoints of a network with one or more of the actual connections indicated by configuration files of the set of endpoints to determine one or more differences between the list of expected connections and the actual connections and updating at least one of the configuration files of the set of endpoints to reflect the one or more differences detected between the list of expected connections and the actual connections.
