Abstract:
A system may include a plurality of computational instances dedicated to different managed networks and a central instance communicatively coupled to the plurality of computational instances. A first computing device disposed within a first computational instance may be configured to: obtain a profile of a software application operational within a first managed network to which the first computational instance is dedicated, calculate a threat level of the software application based on the profile, determine that the threat level exceeds a pre-determined threshold, and transmit, to the central instance, an indication that the threat level exceeds the pre-determined threshold. A second computing device disposed within the central instance may be configured to: receive the indication, determine that the software application is also operational within a second managed network to which a second computational instance, and transmit, to the second computational instance, an indication that the threat level exceeds the pre-determined threshold.
