IDENTIFYING SECURITY RISKS AND ENFORCING POLICIES ON ENCRYPTED/ENCODED NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract:

Network traffic associated with a communication between a client device and a resource is monitored. At least of the monitored traffic is encrypted. The encrypted traffic is categorized. One example way to categorize the encrypted traffic includes using Domain Name System (DNS) query information. A policy is applied to the communication based at least in part on the categorization of the encrypted traffic.
