Secure content management is enabled as a cloud-based service through which security protection and policy enforcement may be implemented for both on-premise network users and roaming users. The global SCM service integrates the security functionalities&#x2014;such as anti-virus, spyware, and phishing protection, firewall, intrusion detection, centralized management, and the like&#x2014;that are typically provided by enterprise network SCM appliance hardware or servers into a cloud-based service that users reach via Internet-based points-of-presence ('POPs'). The POPs are configured with forward proxy servers, and in some implementations, caching and network acceleration components, and coupled to hubs which provide configuration management and identity management services such as active directory services.

Methods, systems and apparatus are described for resource identifier translation. In an implementation, a method includes in a network environment having at least two separate resource identifier (ID) zones, collecting translation information, from first and second information producers, which describes translation of a resource ID between first and second resource ID zones. The collected translation information is distributed to one or more consumers for translating a resource suitable for implementation in the first resource ID zone such that the translated resource is suitable for implementation in the second resource ID zone.
