Localization at scale for a cloud-based security service

A method of synchronizing a honey network configuration to reflect a target network environment, comprising:

• receiving a connection request at a network gateway of a cloud-based security service;
• performing a source Network Address Translation (NAT) from a registered set of public IP addresses associated with a tenant, wherein an egress IP from the network gateway is associated with a region that corresponds to the region of a user that sent the connection request to facilitate an enhanced user experience of locality for the user of the SaaS;
• and
• providing secure access to a Software as a Service (SaaS) using the cloud-based security service, wherein the cloud-based security service maintains a set of IP address ranges for each of their supported regions to provide distinct public IP address pools for each customer of the cloud-based security service.

A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

• receiving a connection request at a network gateway of a cloud-based security service;
• performing a source Network Address Translation (NAT) from a registered set of public IP addresses associated with a tenant, wherein an egress IP from the network gateway is associated with a region that corresponds to the region of a user that sent the connection request to facilitate an enhanced user experience of locality for the user of the SaaS;
• and
