Abstract: A method implemented by a cloud-based system includes steps of, responsive to connecting to a user device with a user associated with a first tenant of a plurality of tenants, obtaining security policies for the user that are configured for the tenant, wherein the security policies for the user are the same regardless of connection type, location of the user, and device type and operating system of the user device; stream scanning traffic between the user device and the Internet based on the security policies, wherein the security policies are for firewall and intrusion prevention functions; and one of allowing and blocking the traffic based on the stream scanning.

Abstract: Cloud-based Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) include receiving traffic associated with a user of a plurality of users, wherein each user is associated with a customer of a plurality of customers for a cloud-based security system, and wherein the traffic is between the user and the Internet; analyzing the traffic based on a set of signatures including stream-based signatures and security patterns; blocking the traffic responsive to a match of a signature of the set of signatures; and performing one or more of providing an alert based on the blocking and updating a log based on the blocking.
