Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems and computer program products for the centralized, secure offloading of security services for distributed security enforcement points. In an embodiment, a network data processing system can be configured for centralized secure offload of security services for distributed security enforcement points and can include a set of security enforcement points controlling communication flows between devices in different less trusted zones of protection. The system also can include a security server communicatively coupled to the security enforcement points and hosting security services logic disposed in a more trusted zone of protection. Each of the security enforcement points can include an interface to the security services logic and program code enabled to offload security related services processing through the interface to the security services logic disposed in the more trusted zone of protection.
