Abstract:
A method in an example embodiment includes correlating a first set of event data from a private network and determining a local reputation score of a host in the private network based on correlating the first set of event data. The method further includes providing the local reputation score of the host to a security node, which applies a policy, based on the local reputation score of the host, to a network communication associated with the host. In specific embodiments, the local reputation score of the host is mapped to a network address of the host. In further embodiments, the first set of event data includes one or more event indicators representing one or more events, respectively, in the private network. In more specific embodiments, the method includes determining a local reputation score of a user and providing the local reputation score of the user to the security node.
