Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for network security are described. In some implementations, security tasks and roles can be allocated between an endpoint device and a firewall device based on tag information sent from the endpoint, the tag information including one or more characteristics of a traffic flow, information of resource availability, and/or reputation of a process associated with a traffic flow.
