Abstract
A communication network is operated by receiving traffic from a user device at a gateway device associated with a gateway service provider, which manages gateways to both secure and insecure networks. The gateway uses security policies to determine if traffic is destined to the secure or insecure network and applies appropriate policies which cause the traffic to be routed, dropped, or analyzed.
