Abstract: A method and related apparatus for performing inspection of flows within a software defined network includes monitoring an indicator indicative of a presence of malware in a selected flow in an electronic communications network, when the indicator suggests the presence of malware in the selected flow, requesting a network device to redirect the selected flow, or to copy the selected flow and send a resulting copy of the selected flow, to a security appliance, and causing the security appliance to be reconfigured in response to the indicator that suggest the presence of malware in the selected flow.
