Abstract
A computing system is provided, including a server computing device configured to execute a security service that communicates with a security agent on a client computing device via a wide area network and an on-premises network on which the client computing device is provisioned, and receive and store, at the server computing device, administrator login credentials for a router device on the on-premises network. The processor is further configured to send a monitoring command to the security agent to cause the security agent to access the router device using the administrator login credentials and configure the router device to forward network traffic received by the router device to the security agent at the client computing device via port mirroring, and receive an on-premises network traffic monitoring report from the security agent based on the network traffic forwarded to the client computing device.
