Abstract:
Mechanisms are provided, in a communication device associated with a first computing device, for capturing security data exchanged between the first computing device and a second computing device. The mechanisms receive a data message from either the first computing device or the second computing device. The data message is part of an operation for establishing a secure communication connection between the first computing device and the second computing device. The mechanisms filter the received data message for security data passed in the received data message and mirror the security data to an analysis port of the communication device. Moreover, the mechanisms output, via the analysis port, the security data to a data collection and analysis system that analyzes the security data with regard to security requirement compliance.
