Abstract
A method includes receiving a policy via a network connection, wherein the policy includes at least one signature. Receiving a data communication message from a processor of a computing device via a system bus. Identifying a class, and selectively forwarding the data communication message based in part on the received policy and the identified class.
Claims25
A system comprising:
- a processor to:
- receive a policy from a policy manager,
- the policy including a signature,
- receive a plurality of data packets from a computing device,
- extract data payloads from the plurality of data packets,
- reassemble a message from the extracted data payloads,
- identify a class associated with the computing device,
- the class designating a group of computing devices,
- the group of computing devices including the computing device, and
- the group of computing devices being one or more of:
- associated with a same organizational unit of a company as an employee, of the company, that is using the computing device,
- a same type of device as the computing device, or
- located in a same area as the computing device, and
- selectively forward, based on the signature and the class, at least a portion of the message to a different computing device that is not part of the group of computing devices,
- the signature being associated with instructions for managing traffic from the class, and
- the traffic including the portion of the message.
