Abstract: This invention relates generally to the field of security and remote data communications, specifically to data communications between applications running on different devices residing in different service provider networks. The invention includes methods and systems to resolve the application host based on user defined naming schema, automate the secure tunnel creation among the communication entities via Security Enforcement Servers, start up the applications via secure out of band control channel, perform packet inspection and anomaly detection based on injected user rules and historical traffic pattern, generate alert or notifications via email, text, etc. to specific users. The invention further tears down the secure connection based on application demand or inactivity timeout, generates event and statistic data records for troubleshooting and future auditing.
