Abstract
A system for processing data that includes a first processor configured to operate one or more algorithms to provide a proxy for each of a plurality of external network communications segments and internal network communications segments associated with a specific use, the first processor configured to operate one or more algorithms to provide a firewall agent that performs firewall processing for each of the plurality of external network communications segments and the internal network communications segments and wherein the explicit proxy is installed using a proxy auto configuration file that is associated with the firewall agent.
Claims18
A system for processing data, comprising:
- a first processor configured to operate one or more algorithms to provide a proxy for each of a plurality of external network communications segments and internal network communications segments associated with a specific user;
- the first processor configured to operate one or more algorithms to provide a firewall agent that performs firewall processing for each of the plurality of external network communications segments and the internal network communications segments;
- and
- wherein the explicit proxy is installed using a proxy auto configuration file that is associated with the firewall agent.
A method for processing data, comprising:
- configuring a first processor to operate one or more algorithms to provide a proxy for each of a plurality of external network communications segments and internal network communications segments associated with a specific user;
- configuring the first processor to operate one or more algorithms to provide a firewall agent that performs firewall processing for each of the plurality of external network communications segments and the internal network communications segments;
- and
- installing the explicit proxy using a proxy auto configuration file that is associated with the firewall agent.
A system including a processor with associated data memory devices that are configured to store instructions that cause the processor to perform functions associated with the instructions, the instructions causing the processor to perform the functions of:
- provide a proxy for each of a plurality of external network communications segments and internal network communications segments associated with a specific user;
- provide a firewall agent that performs firewall processing for each of the plurality of external network communications segments and the internal network communications segments;
- and
- install the explicit proxy using a proxy auto configuration file that is associated with the firewall agent.
