Abstract:
A method performed by a security system that can analyze a vulnerability or a risk applicable to a network entity to identify a cybersecurity threat and associated risk level. The security system can store indications of cybersecurity threats and risk levels in a database of a Domain Name System (DNS). The security system can monitor and resolve network traffic to determine IP addresses or URLs associated with the cybersecurity threats. The security system stores a map of the cybersecurity threats and IP addresses or URLs such that the security system can protect a network entity by processing network traffic to sources or destinations of network traffic that can harm particular network entities, and execute personalized security procedures to protect the network entities.
