Abstract

In one implementation, downloading of streaming content using a security as a service (SecaaS) system is more efficient because portions of the streaming content may not be inspected by the SecaaS. A first request to download content from a content provider is received, and a connection is initiated with a security provider, which inspects the first chunk of the content and generates a routing instruction based on the inspection of the first chunk of content. Based on the routing instructions and the inspection of the first chunk, a request for a second chunk of the streaming content is addressed to the content provider. The second chunk of the streaming content, circumvents the SecaaS system.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving a first endpoint request to download content;
sending the first request to a security provider;
receiving a first chunk of the content from the security provider and a routing instruction based on an inspection of the first chunk of content that originated with a content provider;
and
generating, using a processor, a second request addressed to the content provider for a second chunk of the content based on the routing instruction.
