Zusammenfassung:An improved system and method for discovering and configuring secure network topologies responds to existing networking environments and encompasses the dynamic detection and configuration of an appropriate hardware or software solution. In an embodiment of the invention, a broadcast mechanism is used to provide hardware device discovery while application programming interfaces provide discovery of software firewalls. In a further embodiment, a polling technique is used to ensure that the configuration of a gateway device does not change, endangering the protected network.
