Abstract
Systems and methods for cloud-based multi-layered privacy protection and tracking prevention include routing traffic of a plurality of users associated with a tenant of the cloud-based system through a Secure Web Gateway (SWG) of a cloud-based system; analyzing traffic of a user of the plurality of users for privacy threats; employing one or more defense modules to protect the user from the privacy threats based on the analyzing; and monitoring performance of a destination of the traffic to detect performance degradation due to the one or more defense modules.
Claims20
A method implemented by a cloud-based system, the method comprising steps of:
- routing traffic of a plurality of users associated with a tenant of the cloud-based system through a Secure Web Gateway (SWG) of the cloud-based system;
- analyzing traffic of a user of the plurality of users for privacy threats;
- employing one or more defense modules to protect the user from the privacy threats based on the analyzing;
- and
- monitoring performance of a destination of the traffic to detect performance degradation due to the one or more defense modules.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a cloud-based system to perform steps of:
- routing traffic of a plurality of users associated with a tenant of the cloud-based system through a Secure Web Gateway (SWG) of the cloud-based system;
- analyzing traffic of a user of the plurality of users for privacy threats;
- employing one or more defense modules to protect the user from the privacy threats based on the analyzing;
- and
- monitoring performance of a destination of the traffic to detect performance degradation due to the one or more defense modules.
