Abstract
Described embodiments provide systems and methods for traffic inspection via embedded browsers. An application inspector module of an embedded browser executable on a client may intercept network traffic for an application. The network traffic may include packets exchanged between the application and the server via a channel. The application inspector module may identify a computing resource usage on the client in providing a user with access to the application via the embedded browser. The application inspector module may generate analytics data based on the intercepted network traffic and the computing resource usage. The application inspector module may maintain a user behavior profile based on the analytics data. The application inspector module may determine that a portion of the network traffic directed to the remote server contains sensitive information. Responsive to the determination, the application inspector module may block or remove the portion of the network traffic.
