Abstract

Methods for enabling assured records using fine grained auditing of virtual private network traffic include establishing, by an appliance, a transport layer virtual private network connection with a client operated by a user; receiving, by the appliance via the connection, a request from the client identifying a resource; determining, by the appliance, the request meets at least one security condition; transmitting, by the appliance to an audit log, a record of the request; receiving, by the appliance from the audit log, a confirmation that the record was logged; and granting, responsive to the received confirmation, access to the identified resource. Security conditions may identify at least one user, at least one application, a network or group of networks, and one or more resources. Corresponding systems are also described.
