Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for exchanging information. Communications between an intrusion prevention system (IPS) and at least one end-point are facilitated by controlling network traffic flow in an IPS and the at least one end-point and formation of an information plane. The formed information plane allows attributes of the IPS and the at least one end-point to reside in the formed information plane. A network access policy (NAP) works in conjunction with an IPS and leverages created customized network objects (CNOs). Upon analyzing data packets, the data packets may or may not be forwarded to the IPS.
