Securing network resources from known threats

A system, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions;
• and
• a processing component comprising software in combination with electronic computer hardware programmed to cooperate with the instruction to perform operations including:
• receive a list of network threats;
• transform the list of network threats into a format compatible with existing exchange protocols between a server and sensors of a network;
• package the transformed list into existing data packs exchanged between the server and the sensors;
• define policies for the threats by creating annotations to tag any compromised network elements;
• deploy the defined policies and the existing data packs with the transformed list of threats feeds to the sensors;
• collect continuous feedback from the sensors on various statistics collected by the sensors on performance and data traffic between their respective network elements;
• and
• update the policies based upon the collected statistics.

A non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receive a list of network threats;
• transform the list of network threats into a format compatible with existing exchange protocols between a server and sensors of a network;
• package the transformed list into existing data packs exchanged between the server and the sensors;
• define policies for the threats by creating annotations to tag any compromised network elements;
• deploy the defined policies and the existing data packs with the transformed list of threats feeds to the sensors;
• collect continuous feedback from the sensors on various statistics collected by the sensors on performance and data traffic between their respective network elements;
• and
• update the policies based upon the collected statistics.
