  • Patent number: 9654507
    Abstract: A cloud-based method, a system, and a cloud-based security system include receiving a request from a user for a cloud application at a proxy server; determining whether the user is authenticated based on a presence of cookies in the request; if the cookies are present, un-transforming the cookies by the proxy server and forwarding the request with the un-transformed cookies to the cloud application; and, if the cookies are not present, forwarding the request to the cloud application by the proxy server for authentication and transforming the cookies subsequent to the authentication prior to sending the cookies to the user.

  • Patent number: 9531758
    Abstract: A cloud-based secure Web gateway, a cloud-based secure Web method, and a network deliver a secure Web gateway (SWG) as a cloud-based service to organizations and provide dynamic user identification and policy enforcement therein. As a cloud-based service, the SWG systems and methods provide scalability and capability of accommodating multiple organizations therein with proper isolation therebetween. There are two basic requirements for the cloud-based SWG: (i) Having some means of forwarding traffic from the organization or its users to the SWG nodes, and (ii) Being able to authenticate the organization and users for policy enforcement and access logging. The SWG systems and methods dynamically associate traffic to users regardless of the source (device, location, encryption, application type, etc.), and once traffic is tagged to a user/organization, various polices can be enforced and audit logs of user access can be maintained.
