Abstract
Techniques and architectures to dynamically modify policies used to determine how data in switched network traffic is selected for security inspection. One embodiment of the invention modifies policies used to determine how data in network traffic is redirected from a switch to an intrusion prevention system, without the policy modifications interrupting the handling of network traffic by the switch.
