Abstract

A network application control system is employed to classify unknown computer network traffic. The system includes a firewall computer with a network filter that filters network traffic generated by endpoint computers running local processes. The system may also include a management computer with an endpoint management server that manages endpoint agents running in the endpoint computers. Unknown network traffic is analyzed to generate a pattern matching signature and a policy recommendation. The policy recommendation may be applied to subsequently received network traffic matching the signature.
