Abstract
Communications by a device in a private network to a site operating outside of the network can be programmatically inspected. Unstructured data, including messages and application content, originating from outside of the network may be dynamically converted to structured data that can be tagged. Interactions and activities can be monitored and processed differently according to internal policies and/or business rules. For example, at least a portion of the structured data can be modified prior to forwarding to the device, access by the device to at least a portion of the structured data can be blocked or limited, access by the device to one or more features associated with the structured data can be blocked or limited, etc.
