Systems and methods for a dynamically reconfigurable traffic inspection pipeline in zero trust networks. Methods include steps of intercepting traffic traversing through a zero trust network to a destination; determining one or more traffic inspection stages to utilize for inspecting the traffic based on the characteristics of the traffic; creating a traffic inspection pipeline including the one or more traffic inspection stages; and performing the one or more traffic inspection stages on the traffic through the traffic inspection pipeline. The steps can include dynamically adding or removing traffic inspection stages in the traffic inspection pipeline after performing a traffic inspection stage.

Dynamically reconfigurable traffic inspection pipeline in zero trust networks

A computer network device (such as an access point, a switch or a router) that has multiple user interfaces is described. During operation, the computer network device may execute program instructions for the user interfaces and a shared messaging module, where a given user interface includes an agent corresponding to an application. When a message associated with the application is received via a user interface in the user interfaces, the corresponding agent in the user interface may extract a command or operation from the message. Then, the shared messaging module may translate the command or operation into a common format of the application. Moreover, the shared messaging module may provide (or route) the translated command or operation addressed to the application via a single communication path associated with the application and the agents for the application in the user interfaces.
