Patent attributes
This disclosure describes using a dynamic proxy for securing communications between a source within a cloud environment and an application container. The techniques include intercepting traffic directed to an application container, analyzing the traffic and traffic patterns, and allowing or preventing the traffic from being delivered to the application container based on the analysis. A traffic analysis engine may determine whether the traffic is considered safe and is to be allowed to be delivered to the application container, or whether the traffic is considered unsafe and is to be prevented from being delivered to the application container, According to some configurations, the address(es) to the network interfaces (e.g., WIFI or Eth0) are abstracted to help ensure security of the application containers.
