Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a system/method for utilizing SaaS proxy platform to provide a transparent proxy solution and allow deployment of a hybrid network having a uniform proxy/Internet access environment for both on-network and off-network user traffic. A granular architecture for steering of user Internet traffic is presented that utilizes a SaaS agent as a primary proxy control based on modifications to the PAC files to allow for surgical traffic control. The proposed approach utilizes SaaS proxy agent beyond its intended capabilities and provides a solution that improves uniformity of user Internet experience as well as improving security and network resiliency in a hybrid network.
