Abstract
Techniques for providing flow meta data exchanges between network and security functions for a security service are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for providing flow meta data exchanges between network and security functions for a security service includes receiving a flow at a network gateway of a security service from a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) device; inspecting the flow to determine meta information associated with the flow; and communicating the meta information associated with the flow to the SD-WAN device.
