The traffic analysis controller comprises a network processing unit (NPU) and is configured to perform at least packet processing on the NPU with a set of pre-filters. In addition, the network security device further comprises a central processing unit (CPU) and is configured to perform at least virtual machine (VM)-based processing. The set of pre-filters is configured to distribute objects of received network traffic such that either static analysis or dynamic analysis may be performed on an object to determine whether the object contains malicious content. The static analysis may be performed on either the NPU or the CPU while the dynamic analysis is performed on the CPU."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"System and method for offloading packet processing and static analysis operations","description":"According to one embodiment, a network security device configured to detect malicious content within received network traffic comprises a traffic analysis controller (TAC) is provided.
