Abstract
A network security system for generating an alert in response to a security breach being detected in a proxy server in a data processing network, the system comprising: a distributor component intercepts a request for a resource from a client device; creates a duplicate of the intercepted request and forwards the intercepted request to a first type of proxy server and forwards the duplicate of the intercepted request to a second type of proxy server, where in the first type of proxy server and the second type of proxy server are non-identical proxy server types; a comparator component receives the output from the first type of proxy server and the second type of proxy server; compares the output of the first type of proxy server to the output of the second type of proxy server; and determines whether the output of the first type of proxy server and the output of the second type of proxy server differ, in response to determining a difference generating an alert.
