Systems and methods for handling packets from a trusted network are provided. In some aspects, a system includes a communication module configured to receive a packet at a gateway from a server in a trusted network. The gateway is between the trusted network and a network external to the trusted network. The system also includes a verification module configured to determine whether the received packet is valid. The communication module is configured to route the received packet to a client in the external network if the received packet is determined to be valid. The communication module is configured to apply a corrective action to the received packet if the received packet is determined to be invalid.
