HUMAN USER VERIFICATION OF HIGH-RISK NETWORK ACCESS

摘要

Systems and methods for performing a human user test when a high-risk network access is captured by an intermediary security device are provided. According to one embodiment, a request that is sent from a client to a server is captured by an intermediary security device logically interposed between the client and the server. A human user test message is sent by the intermediary security device to the client to verify that the request was initiated by a human user of the client. A response to the human user test message is received by the intermediary security device. It is determined by the intermediary security device whether the response is a correct response to the human user test message. When the determination is affirmative, the request is allowed to pass through the intermediary security device and to be delivered to the server.
