Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of redirecting data to a cloud scanning service, the method comprising: an on-premise gateway receiving data from a client over a private computer network, the on-premise gateway and the client being on-premise within the private computer network; the on-premise gateway locally scanning the data in the on-premise gateway to perform security checks on the data; the on-premise gateway determining whether the data is to be scanned in a cloud scanner accessible over the Internet for security checks, the cloud scanner providing a cloud scanning service; and after locally scanning the data in the on-premise gateway, the on-premise gateway redirecting the data to the cloud scanner instead of forwarding the data to an intended destination server of the data when the on-premise gateway determines that the data is to be scanned in the cloud scanner.
