Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed that provide in-session splitting of network traffic sessions for monitoring of traffic between network clients and network servers. This in-session splitting is based upon monitoring traffic sessions for one or more events and then initiating a proxied session based upon detection of the one or more events. For further embodiments, the creation of the proxied session is implemented based upon detection of a request for a secure link within the session traffic, and the proxied session is then implemented such that original session participants are not aware of the proxied session. The encrypted secure communications between the network client and the network server are split into two connections that decrypted and re-encrypted so that the contents of the secure link can be analyzed to identify network threats and/or other desired network related activities.
