Abstract: A method, apparatus and product for potential attack detection based on dummy network traffic. One embodiment includes a method comprising analyzing an activity, wherein the activity is performed in response to a message, wherein the message is transmitted by a first application that is executed by a computing device, wherein the computing device is connected to a computerized network, wherein the first application is configured to transmit the message in order to induce a potential attacker to perform a malicious activity, wherein said analyzing comprises comparing the activity to a predetermined expected activity in response to the message; and determining, based on the analysis of the activity, that a second application is under a potential attack; whereby an operation of the first application is capable of exposing potential attacks on the second application without monitoring network traffic of the second application.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and product that provide a access control system for mobile devices. The mobile device performing: selecting a proxy to handle a request to a remote server, the request is issued by a program being executed by the mobile device, wherein the proxy is configured to perform a security action in response to the request; and sending the request to the proxy; whereby selectively performing the predetermined security action on a portion of the requests issued by the mobile device. Additionally or alternatively, a computer performing: receiving from a mobile device, an instruction to provide a Proxy Auto Config (PAC) file; and generating a PAC file that comprises a function which is configured to receive a URL and return a proxy to handle a request to the URL, wherein the proxy is configured to perform a security action in response to receiving a request.

Abstract: A method, product and system for selective encryption in a mobile device. The method comprising: selectively encrypting requests issued by the mobile device, wherein said selectively encrypting comprises: obtaining a request issued by an application executed by the mobile device, the request having one or more characteristics, the request has a destination; determining, based on the one or more characteristics, whether to encrypt the request; and in response to a determination to encrypt the request, re-routing the request to be transmitted to the destination through a secure channel; whereby the request is encrypted regardless of the destination being a priori associated with the secure channel.
