Network Protection Via Embedded Controls
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- an in-line device configured to detect an infected data packet;
a central management server configured to receive a first instruction from the in-line device, the instruction identifying the origin of the infected data packet; and
an infected endpoint device configured to receive a second instruction from the central management server and to mark outgoing data packets to create marked data packets.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for providing network protection. A method according to one embodiment may include detecting an infected data packet at an in-line device. The method may further include receiving a first instruction from the in-line device at a central management server, the instruction identifying the origin of the infected data packet. The method may also include receiving a marking instruction from the central management server at an infected endpoint device and marking outgoing data packets at the infected endpoint device to create marked data packets. Of course, many alternatives, variations and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
