  • Publication number: 20230199024
    Abstract: In some implementations, a security device may receive a traffic flow. The security device may determine an amount of a padding included in the traffic flow. The security device may determine whether the amount of the padding included in the traffic flow satisfies a padding threshold. The security device may perform, based on the amount of the padding satisfying the padding threshold, offloading for the traffic flow. The security device may inspect, based on the amount of the padding failing to satisfy the padding threshold, an entire portion of the traffic flow.

  • Publication number: 20200045079
    Abstract: A device receives end user device information for end user devices associated with a network, and creates a data structure that includes the end user device information. The device creates a data structure that includes false account credentials, and maps the end user device information and the false account credentials to create a mapped data structure. The device provides the false account credentials to memory locations of corresponding ones of the end user devices, and provides information from the mapped data structure to one or more network devices associated with the network, wherein the information from the mapped data structure enables the one or more network devices to detect an unauthorized access attempt of the network using one or more of the false account credentials.

  • Publication number: 20190007436
    Abstract: A device may include one or more processors to receive a file that may be analyzed for malware; open the received file in a secure environment; determine that a secondary file in the secure environment may have been accessed based on the received file being opened; analyze the secondary file in the secure environment to identify malware; and/or perform an action associated with the received file based on the secondary file being analyzed.

  • Publication number: 20180323898
    Abstract: A device may receive a first portion of network traffic associated with a flow. The device may perform a first upper layer inspection of the first portion of network traffic associated with the flow. The device may identify a set of parameters of the flow based on performing the first upper layer inspection of the first portion of network traffic associated with the flow. The device may determine, based on the set of parameters, a sampling rate at which to perform a second upper layer inspection of a second portion of network traffic associated with the flow. The device may instruct a lower layer to use the sampling rate to provide the second portion of network traffic associated with the flow for the second upper layer inspection. The device may perform the second upper layer inspection of the second portion of network traffic associated with the flow based on receiving the second portion of network traffic associated with the flow from the lower layer.
