In-channel event processing for network agnostic mobile applications in cloud based security systems

Abstract:

Systems and methods in a mobile device communicatively coupled to a cloud based security system, the method for detecting and processing in-channel events associated with a network agnostic mobile application, the method includes intercepting outgoing data from the network agnostic mobile application at a tunnel interface on the mobile device; monitoring the outgoing data for network transactions from the network agnostic mobile application to maintain a context of the network transactions and intended responses for every request; transmitting the outgoing data from the tunnel interface to the cloud based security system; and receiving a response from the cloud based security system responsive to the outgoing data and processing any deviation from the intended responses.
