Abstract
The present application is directed a computer-implemented method for enhancing security and preventing cyber-attacks on a network. The method includes a step of receiving, from a user equipment on the network, information including a source IP address and a destination IP address. The method also includes a step of selecting a first VPN server from a VPN service provider based upon a traffic-type of the user equipment. The method also includes a step of creating, via a graphical user interface, a policy to prevent cyber-attacks such that traffic associated with the information of the user equipment is routed to the first VPN server. The method further includes a step of sending the traffic of the user equipment to the VPN server. The method even further includes a step of provisioning the first VPN server to last a predetermined amount of time base on the created policy. The method yet even further includes a step of coordinating the created policy with a router on the network, with the traffic being sent to the first VPN server via the router. The method yet even further includes a step of sending, after a predetermined condition is met, a request to the VPN service provider to t…
