Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for implementing a virtual obfuscation service in a network. In use, an obfuscation service component is initiated in a network system including one or more virtual services, the obfuscation service component including at least one of: at least one first obfuscation service component associated with a physical portion of the network system or at least one second obfuscation service component associated with a cloud-based virtual portion of the network system. Further, communication to be sent from the physical portion of the network system to the cloud-based virtual portion of the network system is identified. Additionally, the communication is directed from the physical portion of the network system to the first obfuscation service component associated with the physical portion of the network system. Furthermore, the communication is sent from the first obfuscation service component associated with the physical portion of the network system to the second obfuscation service component associated with the cloud-based virtual portion of the network system.
