A method, system and computer-usable medium for automating the assessment of security vulnerabilities associated with a user module via a user module assessment operation. The user assessment operation includes receiving a request from a user module via an edge device; determining whether the request includes a persistent session cookie; determining whether the user module should be assessed to detect security vulnerabilities; resetting information contained in the persistent session cookie when the user module should be accessed to detect security vulnerabilities; redirecting the user module for assessment; and, performing an assessment of the user module to detect possible security vulnerabilities.

Automated user module assessment

A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for enforcing a security policy, comprising: determining when an endpoint device initiates a web transaction with a web server, the endpoint device initiating the web transaction with a web-enabled application; establishing a side channel to a security service when the endpoint device initiates the web transaction with the web-enabled application; performing a categorization and policy enforcement operation via the security service in parallel with initiating the web transaction, the categorization and policy enforcement operation determining a security policy result regarding the web transaction; withholding content resulting from performance of the web transaction until the security policy result is provided by the security service, the content being withheld at the endpoint device; and, releasing the content resulting from the web transaction to the web-enabled application of the endpoint device upon receipt of an affirmative policy result from the security service.
