Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for endpoint-based security. An apparatus includes a network module that is configured to receive, at an end user device, a request for content from a network source. An apparatus includes a policy module that is configured to compare a network source of requested content against a policy that is stored on an end user device prior to the content being allowed on the end user device. An apparatus includes an action module that is configured to segment network traffic associated with a request for content from a network source, based on a comparison of the network source against a policy, between at least one of directly accessing the content from the network source and indirectly accessing the content via a remote cloud device by rerouting the network traffic from an end user device to the remote cloud device.
