Abstract
An on-premise computer in the form of an on-premise gateway receives data transmitted by a client to an intended destination server. The on-premise gateway and the client are on-premise within the same private computer network. The on-premise gateway determines whether or not the data is to be scanned for security checks by a cloud scanning service provided by a cloud scanner on the Internet. The on-premise gateway redirects the data to the cloud scanner when the data is to be scanned in the cloud. Otherwise, when the data is not to be scanned in the cloud, the on-premise gateway forwards the data to the destination server without having the data scanned by the cloud scanner.
