Abstract

A method and system allows for the deployment of security policies into the higher layers of the OSI model. Specifically, it allows for the establishment of security policies at layer 4 and higher, by monitoring authentication flows and using these flows as the basis for establishing security policies which then can be used as a basis for assessing the operation of the network.
