Abstract

Techniques for providing application context via endpoint-aware traffic for enhanced security are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for providing application context via endpoint-aware traffic for enhanced security includes collecting process information for a process at an endpoint; injecting the process information as metadata into network traffic associated with the process to generate endpoint-aware traffic; and processing the endpoint-aware traffic at a security platform or a security service to access more comprehensive information about the endpoint environment to apply a security policy based on a contextual application identifier (App-ID).
