Network traffic filtering and routing for threat analysis
Abstract:
Implementations disclosed herein provide a managed security service that distributes processing tasks among a number of network security modules working in parallel to process component portions of a replayed network traffic stream. If a network security module detects a potential security threat, the network security module may generate a delivery request specifying other information potentially useful in further investigation of the potential security threat. The delivery request is communicated to a plurality of other processing entities, such as the other network security modules, and any processing entity currently receiving the requested information may respond to the delivery request. Once a source of the requested information is determined, the requested information is routed to the origin of the request.
