Overview of Detecting Rogue Traffic
The Web Security appliance has an integrated Layer-4 Traffic Monitor that detects rogue traffic across
all network ports and stops malware attempts to bypass port 80. When internal clients are infected with
malware and attempt to phone-home across non-standard ports and protocols, the L4 Traffic Monitor
prevents phone-home activity from going outside the corporate network. By default, the L4 Traffic
Monitor is enabled and set to monitor traffic on all ports. This includes DNS and other services.
