<p>The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for securing otherwise unsecured computer communications that addresses the above shortcomings among others. According to certain aspects, the invention relates to methods and apparatuses for implementing device snooping, in which some or all traffic passing between a host and a connected device is captured into memory and analyzed in real time by system software. According to other aspects, the invention relates to real time capture of certain types of traffic and communication of the captured traffic to a remote management system. According to still further aspects, the invention relates to detecting security threats in real time, Upon threat detection, possible actions are blocking individual devices or alerting a system administrator. According to certain additional aspects, the security functions performed by methods and apparatuses according to the invention can be logically transparent to the upstream host and to the downstream device.</p> |
