Abstract

Systems and methods for securely handling data traffic on local or private networks, such as by using cloud computing, are provided. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, according to one implementation, may be configured to store executable instructions enabling a processor of a user device to perform the step of discovering an origin of a source application associated with network packets bound for a private address space. The executable instructions may further enable the processor to send a tuple regarding the discovered origin to a cloud server to request an analysis of the tuple. Upon receiving an allow instruction from the cloud server, the instructions enable the processor to allow the network packets to flow normally to a destination associated with the private address space. Upon receiving a deny instruction from the cloud server, the instructions enable the processor to drop the network packets.
