Abstract
Computer-implemented methods, systems and program products extending traditional cloud-centric intrusion detection to edge networks. NIDPS is decentralized between the edge and cloud. Edge gateways equipped with NIDPS agents capture packets of network traffic and pre-process the data. Pre-processing output is compressed and sent to cloud intrusion detection services equipped with latest available rules and signatures. As cloud IDS detects security threats using rules and signatures, NIDPS agents are alerted and switched from 'lazy mode' to “preventative mode.” While in preventative mode, NIDPS agents inspect packets of network traffic in accordance with the rules and signatures associated with the detected security threat, dropping packets that trigger the rules and signatures, while still compressing and transmitting other packets to cloud IDS for analysis. Once no active rules or signatures are enforced for pre-set or configured periods of time, NIDPS agents revert back to “lazy mode” to conserve network resources.
