CA 2533034

A reverse firewall for removing undesirable traffic from a computing network, such as a virtual private network (VPN), is disclosed. The reverse firewall uses firewall rules that may be determined and maintained within the enterprise network to control communication sent between computers in the computing network. The reverse firewall rules may be used to identify the communications between computers in the network that are undesirable and/or intrusive. For example, a computer in a network that is infected with a worm or that is surreptitiously hosting a denial-of-service attack may be identified by the reverse firewall and quarantined. The reverse firewall may be implemented in hardware and/or software.

L'invention porte sur un pare-feu inverse pour l'élimination de trafic indésirable sur un réseau informatique, tel qu'un réseau virtuel privé (RVP). Le pare-feu inversé fait appel aux règles de pare-feu qui peuvent être déterminées et maintenues dans un réseau d'entreprise afin de contrôler les communications transmises entre les ordinateurs du réseau. Les règles de pare-feu inverse peuvent servir à identifier les communications entre les ordinateurs du réseau qui sont indésirables ou intrusives. Par exemple, un ordinateur du réseau qui est infecté par un ver ou qui héberge clandestinement une attaque pour déni de service peut être identifié par le pare-feu inverse et mis en quarantaine. Le pare-feu inverse peut être mis en oeuvre dans le matériel et (ou) le logiciel.
