Abstract

A method and system for managing access to resources on a secured network is disclosed. The method includes reading packet information in respective packets of a packet communication received at a security node and applying one of the plurality of access rules. The method also includes determining whether the security node is to block the respective packets and/or the packet communication from reaching a resource on the secured network based on the applied access rule. If the security node is to block the respective packets and/or the packet communication, it is determined whether the applied access rule is a simulated access rule. Responsive to the applied access rule being a simulated access rule, the respective packets and/or the packet communication are passed towards the resource on the secured network and a log event is generated that indicates the security node blocked the respective packets and/or the packet communication.
