Abstract
Example methods and systems for a computer system to perform context-aware service query filtering are described. One example may involve a computer system intercepting a service query from a virtualized computing instance to pause forwarding of the service query towards a destination; and obtaining context information associated with an application running on the virtualized computing instance. In response to determination that the service query is a potential security threat based on the context information, service query filtering may be performed to inspect the service query for malicious activity. Otherwise, in response to determination that the service query is not a potential security threat based on the context information, the service query filtering may be skipped and the service query forwarded towards the destination.
