Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for computer network threat assessment. For example, methods may include receiving from client networks respective threat data and storing the respective threat data in a security event database; maintaining affiliations for groups of the client networks; detecting correlation between a network threat and one of the groups; identifying an indicator associated with the network threat, and, dependent on the affiliation for the group, identifying a client network and generating a message, which conveys an alert to the client network, comprising the indicator; responsive to the message, receiving, from the client network, a report of detected correlation between the indicator and security event data maintained by the client network; and updating the security event database responsive to the report of detected correlation.
