  • Security system for physical or virtual environments
    Patent number: 9917849
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing intra-zone and inter-zone security management in a network are provided. According to one embodiment, an association is formed by a network security device between a first zone including a first set of devices and a first set of security policies defining a first type of security scanning to be performed on packets originated within the first zone and between a second zone including a second set of devices and a second set of security policies defining a second type of security scanning to be performed on packets originated within the second zone. A first zone packet is received by the network security device. It is determined whether the destination is within the first zone. If so, then the first type of security scanning is performed. A second zone packet is received by the network security device. It is determined whether the destination is within the second zone. If so, then the second type of security scanning is performed.
