Abstract:

Techniques for a security platform with external inline processing of assembled selected traffic are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/method/computer program product for providing a security platform with external inline processing of assembled selected traffic includes monitoring network traffic of a session at a security platform; selecting a subset of the monitored network traffic associated with the session to send to a cloud-based security service for analysis based on a security policy, wherein the selected subset of the monitored network traffic is proxied to the cloud-based security service; and receiving, from the cloud-based security service, results of the analysis based on the security policy, and performing a responsive action based on the results of the analysis based on the security policy.
