Abstract
In one implementation, traffic in a mobile network is offloaded to a security as a service server or a cloud server. A mobile access gateway (MAG) in the mobile network identifies one or more mobile nodes that are configured for communication on the mobile network. The MAG receives a message that includes an address of a mobile node and sends a request based on the message to the security as a service server. The MAG forwards traffic flows to the security as a service server according to the message, which is configured to detect an indication of malicious software in the traffic flows and/or filter content of the traffic flows according to a user profile.
