Abstract
A plurality of system nodes coupled via a dedicated private network is described herein. The nodes offer an end-to-end solution for protecting against network-based attacks. The nodes can include network gateways that allow remote systems, such as servers located at an entity's place of operation or a data center accessible by the entity, to securely transmit data between the nodes and the remote systems. For example, the network gateways can transmit split data into different portions, and transmit each portion over a different path through a public network to mitigate the effects of man-in-the-middle attacks. Once data reaches a node, transmission of the data from one node to another can pass through multiple intermediary nodes via the dedicated private network. The nodes and/or remote systems may also include cross-domain guard devices that control whether data can pass from one security domain to another.
