• wherein the proxy is configured to receive an egress traffic and to terminate Transport Layer Security (TLS) communication for the egress traffic,
• the proxy is further configured to forward the egress traffic to the gateway agent;
• the gateway agent is configured to validate the egress traffic as valid traffic or invalid traffic based on predetermined validation requirements, and
• the proxy is further configured to receive the valid traffic or the invalid traffic from the gateway agent, and to forward the valid traffic to a destination service or to block the invalid traffic.

A method for validating egress traffic in a computer network system, the method comprising:

• terminating, by a proxy, Transport Layer Security (TLS) communication for the egress traffic;
• forwarding, by the proxy, the egress traffic to a gateway agent;
• validating, by the gateway agent, the egress traffic as valid traffic or invalid traffic based on predetermined validation requirements;
• receiving, by the proxy, the valid traffic or invalid traffic from the gateway agent;
