Microsoft patents system to let trusted network traffic skip security checks

1. A system for tracking a maturity classification of a communication comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including instructions which when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to: determine a first communication between a first communication device and a second communication device to be an internal communication or an external communication; based on the first communication being an internal communication, classify the first communication between a first communication device and a second communication device as a mature communication classification in one or more tables, wherein mature communication are intended, valid, or otherwise wanted communications; based on the first communication being an external communication, classify the first communication between a first communication device and a second communication as a non-mature communication classification; based at least partially on the first communication being non-mature, subject subsequent communications between the first communication device and the second communication device to at least one of a traffic rate mitigation technique or traffic analysis technique; classify a second external communication between the first communication device and the second communication device as a mature communication classification; and bypass the at least one of the traffic rate mitigation technique or the traffic analysis technique for communications between the first communication device and second communication device received after the mature communication classification and based on the mature communication classification.
