摘要
Methods and systems are disclosed that provide active firewall control for network traffic sessions within virtual processing platforms. Client agent instances run within virtual machine (VM) platforms (e.g., hypervisor, container, etc.) within virtual processing environments and enforce access, proxy, and/or other firewall rules with respect to network traffic sessions for application instances also running within the VM platforms. For certain embodiments, the agent instances collect information about applications and services running within the VM platforms and use this collected information to automatically enforce firewall rules. Additional disclosed embodiments redirect packets from “bad” network sources to a proxied application instance that interacts with the “bad” network source. This proxied interaction allows an agent instance monitoring the proxied session to analyze and assess the actual activity by the “bad” network source without putting the original data or network service at risk. Other features and variations are also be disclosed.
