Abstract

A system may include a traffic interception module configured to intercept network traffic of a host device. A traffic virtualization module may be configured to generate a virtual file on the host device containing the intercepted network traffic. A security system interface module may be configured to provide the virtual file to a secure digital security system over a virtualized file interface coupling the host device to the secure digital security system, and to receive instructions to allow or to deny the network traffic from the secure digital security system over the virtualized file interface. A traffic access management module may be configured to allow or to deny the network traffic based on the instructions.
