Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for dynamic allocation of network security resources and measures to network traffic between end terminals on a network and a network destination, based in part on an independently sourced reputation score of the network destination. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a cloud network controller, a request from an end terminal for information on a network destination; determining, at the cloud network controller, a reputation score for the network destination; determining, at the cloud network controller, one or more security measures to be applied when accessing the network destination, based on the reputation score; and communicating, by the cloud network controller, the one or more security measures to the end terminal, wherein the end terminal communicates the one or more security measures to a third-party security service provider for applying to communications between the end terminal and the network destination.
A method comprising:
A network controller comprising:
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-readable instructions, which when executed by a network controller, cause the network controller to:
