Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for monitoring traffic associated with users in a network includes assigning a trust level to each of the users, monitoring traffic associated with each of the users, and analyzing the monitored traffic. A level of monitoring is based on the trust level of the user. A user's trust level is modified if the analyzed traffic indicates that the user is operating outside of specified network usage parameters. An apparatus for monitoring traffic associated with users in a network is also disclosed.
