METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR INTERCEPTION, QUARANTINE AND MODERATION OF INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS OF UNCONTROLLED SYSTEMS

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein may intercept, quarantine, and moderate communications internal to an uncontrolled system. An example of an uncontrolled system may be a web application associated with a social networking site. In accessing the social networking site, a user may type in a message. An instance of the uncontrolled system running on the user's device may prepare a request containing the message. Some embodiment disclosed herein may determine that the message is subject to moderation, intercept the request, and place the message in a queue. This determination may be based on the destination of the request as well the type of the message. Some embodiments may reconstruct the original request for resubmission. If the session is expired, some embodiments may log in for the user and resubmit the reconstructed request. Some embodiments may wait for the next time the user logs in to resubmit the reconstructed request.

主权项

1. A method for monitoring network traffic, comprising:
monitoring, by a computer having a processor and a memory, network traffic between
a piece of code running on a user device associated with a user in a computing environment andan uncontrolled application associated with a site operating outside of the computing environment,the network traffic including a communication generated by the piece of code or by the uncontrolled application,the communication containing a message;the computer having no control over the uncontrolled application or the site operating outside of the computing environment; the computer determining, based at least on a type of the message, that the communication is subject to interception and further performing:
stopping the communication;sending the communication through a moderation process, the moderation process including:
placing the communication in a moderation queue;operating at least one moderation software tool on the communication;determining, based at least on a result from the operating, whether the communication is approved for resubmission;reconstructing the communication if the communication is approved for resubmission; andresubmitting the communication that has been reconstructed subsequent to approval for resubmission by the moderation process.
