  • Publication number: 20240163253
    Abstract: This document describes among other things, network security systems that incorporate a feedback loop so as to automatically and dynamically adjust the scope of network traffic that is subject to inspection. Risky traffic can be sent for inspection; risky traffic that is demonstrated to have high rate of threats can be outright blocked without further inspection; traffic that is causing errors due to protocol incompatibility or should not be inspected for regulatory or other reasons can be flagged so it bypasses the security inspection system. The system can operate on a domain by domain basis, IP address basis, or otherwise.

  • Patent number: 11632356
    Abstract: Among other things, this document describes systems, methods and devices for providing a cloud proxy auto-config (PAC) function for clients connected to a private network, such as an enterprise network. The teachings hereof are of particular use with cloud hosted proxy services provided by server deployments outside of the private network (e.g., external to the enterprise or other organizational network). This document also describes systems, methods and devices for providing a proxy auto-config (PAC) function for clients connected to a third party network, such as when the client moves outside of the enterprise network.

  • Patent number: 11245667
    Abstract: It is known in the art to route client traffic to a network security gateway using the domain name system, or DNS. More specifically, a local DNS resolver on a private network may apply security intelligence to client DNS lookup requests, based on the domains that clients are seeking to resolve. If a requested domain represents a known security threat, the client can be blocked or directed to the network security gateway instead of to the desired host. This routing of the client request to the network security gateway can be accomplished by giving the client the IP address of the network security gateway instead of the actual IP address corresponding to the domain name, in response to a given DNS name query from the client. Request routing can be accomplished using other techniques, such as IP layer routing, as well.
