Abstract: A system and method for shielding a network from malicious or unauthorized activity includes an active monitoring device connected to the network for monitoring each data packet and controlling the network connection. End devices connected to the network are isolated from each other so that data cannot flow in the event one or more data packets, devices, and so on, are flagged as untrustworthy. The active monitoring device uses the filter data to determine whether unusual behavior, unauthorized access, attempted hacking occurred, and ensure isolation between network devices and prevent transfer of data. Continuous monitoring ensures once trusted devices that abnormally change behavior are flagged as untrusted, thereby preventing breaches of the network.
