Abstract
Various embodiments provide embodiments provide systems and methods for performing edge processing using selectively suspended network security processing. In one example, a non-edge device (e.g., a network security appliance) receives a first network traffic representing a first part of a network session from an edge device (e.g., a network router). The non-edge device applies at least one security process to the first network traffic to yield a security result. Based at least in part on the security result, (i) the non-edge device forward, the first network traffic to a destination and (ii) communicates an indication (e.g., a grant of suspended security review) to the edge device that the edge device is not required to transmit a second part of the network traffic session to the non-edge device for application of the at least one security process.
