receiving, by a computing device, a handshake request to establish a connection for an application request to access an application, wherein the connection is a transport layer security (TLS) connection;

identifying, by the computing device prior to one of rejecting or accepting the handshake request to establish the TLS connection for the application request, that the application request of the handshake request is stored in a registry, the registry storing application requests received from handshake requests across a plurality of computing devices, wherein the handshake request of the application request is different from the handshake requests that provided the application requests stored in the registry;

determining, by the computing device, prior to accepting the handshake request to establish the connection for the application request, to reject the application request of the handshake request responsive to identifying that the application request is stored in the registry; and

accepting the handshake request to establish the connection and rejecting the application request.
