==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING TRANSPARENT SaaS PROXY ON AND OFF NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17527718 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING TRANSPARENT SaaS PROXY ON AND OFF NETWORK

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure is about a system/method that uses a SaaS proxy platform to provide a transparent proxy solution for both on-network and off-network user traffic. It introduces a granular architecture for steering user Internet traffic by utilizing a SaaS agent as a primary proxy control.

* The system/method utilizes a SaaS proxy platform to create a uniform proxy/Internet access environment for both on-network and off-network users.
* It modifies PAC files to allow for surgical traffic control, improving the user Internet experience.
* The proposed approach goes beyond the intended capabilities of the SaaS proxy agent, providing improved security and network resiliency in a hybrid network environment.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in various industries and organizations where there is a need for a uniform proxy/Internet access environment and improved control over user Internet traffic. Some potential applications include:

* Corporate networks: Providing a consistent proxy solution for both on-network and off-network employees, enhancing security and control over Internet access.
* Educational institutions: Ensuring a uniform proxy environment for students and staff, allowing for better management of Internet traffic and content filtering.
* Government agencies: Implementing a transparent proxy solution to monitor and control Internet access for employees, improving security and compliance.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology addresses several problems related to proxy solutions and user Internet traffic control:

* Lack of uniformity: It solves the issue of having different proxy solutions for on-network and off-network users, creating a consistent environment.
* Limited control: It provides a granular architecture for steering user Internet traffic, allowing for surgical traffic control and better management.
* Security and resiliency: By utilizing the SaaS proxy agent beyond its intended capabilities, it improves security and network resiliency in a hybrid network setup.

== Benefits ==
The utilization of this technology offers several benefits:

* Uniform user experience: Users, regardless of their network location, will have a consistent proxy/Internet access environment.
* Enhanced control: The granular architecture allows for precise control over user Internet traffic, improving security and compliance.
* Improved security and resiliency: By leveraging the SaaS proxy agent, the system provides better security measures and network resilience in a hybrid network setup.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

The present disclosure is directed to a system/method for utilizing SaaS proxy platform to provide a transparent proxy solution and allow deployment of a hybrid network having a uniform proxy/Internet access environment for both on-network and off-network user traffic. A granular architecture for steering of user Internet traffic is presented that utilizes a SaaS agent as a primary proxy control based on modifications to the PAC files to allow for surgical traffic control. The proposed approach utilizes SaaS proxy agent beyond its intended capabilities and provides a solution that improves uniformity of user Internet experience as well as improving security and network resiliency in a hybrid network.
