Abstract
A method is described for inspecting data flows within a cloud-based gateway. The method involves receiving a data flow containing data packets at the gateway and subjecting the data packets to analysis using one or more inspection services to identify a threat signature. Upon detection of the threat signature, the method includes capturing the data packets marked with the threat signature in a temporary storage, specifically, a packet capture file within the gateway. Subsequently, the data packets bearing the detected threat signature in the temporary storage are transmitted to a persistent cloud storage. The temporary storage is purged of any remaining data packets unrelated to the threat signature, ensuring that data packets associated with the identified threat signature are preserved in the persistent cloud storage. The stored data packets are formatted in any format, including a HAR or PCAP format within the persistent cloud storage.
