Abstract
Systems and methods for coordinating security operations among members of a cooperative security fabric (CSF) are provided. According to one embodiment, a first network security appliance of a CSF receives incoming network traffic and determines whether the network traffic has been transmitted from a second network security appliance based on a flag carried by one or more packets of the network traffic. If the incoming network traffic is from the second network security appliance, the first network security appliance determines network security operations that are executed by the second network security appliance and then determines local network security operations. The first network security appliance executes the local network security operations on the network traffic.
