Methods and systems for enhancing cyber security in networks
The present application is directed a computer-implemented method for enhancing security and preventing cyber-attacks on a network. The method includes a step of receiving, from a user equipment on the network, information including a source IP address and a destination IP address. The method also includes a step of selecting a first VPN server from a VPN service provider based upon a traffic-type of the user equipment. The method also includes a step of creating, via a graphical user interface, a policy to prevent cyber-attacks such that traffic associated with the information of the user equipment is routed to the first VPN server. The method further includes a step of sending the traffic of the user equipment to the VPN server. The method even further includes a step of provisioning the first VPN server to last a predetermined amount of time base on the created policy. The method yet even further includes a step of coordinating the created policy with a router on the network, with the traffic being sent to the first VPN server via the router. The method yet even further includes a step of sending, after a predetermined condition is met, a request to the VPN service provider to transmit a second VPN server, where the first VPN server terminates when the predetermined condition is met. The application is also directed to a system and method for securing web traffic preventing cyber-attacks on a network.
1. A computer-implemented method for enhancing security and preventing cyber-attacks on a network comprising:
receiving, from a user equipment on the network, information including a source IP address and a destination IP address;
selecting a first VPN server from a VPN service provider based upon a traffic-type of the user equipment;
creating, via a graphical user interface, a policy to prevent cyber-attacks such that traffic associated with the information of the user equipment is routed to the first VPN server;
provisioning the first VPN server to last a predetermined amount of time based on the created policy;
coordinating the created policy with a router on the network, with the traffic being sent to the first VPN server via the router; and
sending, after a predetermined condition is met, a request to the VPN service provider to transmit a second VPN server,
wherein the first VPN server terminates when the predetermined condition is met.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
redirecting the traffic of the user equipment from the first VPN server to the second VPN server.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein IP addresses of the first and second VPNs are different.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined condition is selected from the group consisting of activity-type, traffic-type, load balancing, and combinations thereof.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the traffic-type is selected from the group consisting of video, web, voice and combinations thereof.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
selecting the VPN server based upon the traffic-type of the user equipment.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network is an enterprise network for a company.
8. A computer-implemented system for enhancing web traffic security and preventing cyber-attacks on a network comprising:
a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon for dynamically managing web traffic of user equipment on the network;
a display including a graphical user interface; and
a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, the processor configured to execute the instructions of:
receiving information from the user equipment;
selecting a first VPN server from a VPN service provider based upon a traffic-type of the user equipment;
creating, via the graphical user interface, a policy to prevent cyber-attacks such that traffic associated with the received information of the user equipment is routed to the first VPN server;
provisioning the first VPN server to last a predetermined amount of time based on the created policy;
coordinating the created policy with a router on the network, with the traffic being sent to the first VPN server via the router; and
sending, after a predetermined condition is met, a request to the VPN service provider to transmit a second VPN server,
wherein the first VPN server terminates when the predetermined condition is met.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions of redirecting the traffic of the user equipment from the first VPN server to the second VPN server.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions of:
configuring the router with the policy; and
authorizing the traffic of the user equipment be sent through the configured router to the VPN server.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the information of the user equipment includes a source IP address and a destination IP address.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein sending of the instructions is performed automatically.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions of receiving, from the VPN service provider, credentials of the first and second VPNs.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein IP addresses of the first and second VPNs are different.
15. The system of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined condition is selected from the group consisting of activity-type, traffic-type, load balancing, and combinations thereof.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the traffic-type is selected from the group consisting of video, web, voice, and combinations thereof.
17. A system for securing web traffic to prevent cyber-attacks on a network comprising:
a policy controller including:
a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon for dynamically managing web traffic of user equipment on the network;
a display including a graphical user interface; and
a processor, operably coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the instructions of:
receiving information from the user equipment;
selecting a first VPN server from a VPN service provider based upon a traffic-type of the user equipment;
creating, via the graphical user interface, a policy to prevent cyber-attacks such that traffic associated with the received information of the user equipment is routed to the first VPN server;
provisioning the first VPN server to last a predetermined amount of time based on the created policy;
coordinating the created policy with a router on the network, with the traffic being sent to the VPN server via the router; and
sending, after a predetermined condition is met, a request to the VPN service provider to transmit a second VPN server, and where the first VPN server terminates; and
a router on the network operably coupled to the policy controller to prevent cyber-attacks.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the processor of the policy controller is further configured to execute the instructions of redirecting the traffic of the user equipment from the first VPN server to the second VPN server.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein IP addresses of the first and second VPNs are different.
20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the processor of the policy controller is further configured to execute the instructions of:
configuring the router with the policy; and
authorizing the traffic of the user equipment be sent through the configured router to the VPN server.
