Abstract
Techniques for social sharing security information between client entities forming a group are described herein. The group of client entities is formed as a result of a security server providing one or more secure mechanisms for forming a group among client entities, the client entities each belonging to a different organization. The security service then automatically shares security information of a client entity in the group with one or more other client entities in the group.
Claims38
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing, by a security service, one or more secure mechanisms for forming a group among client entities, each client entity being associated with a different security organization;
- and
- automatically sharing, by the security service, security information of a client entity in the group with one or more other client entities in the group.
One or more tangible computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions configured to program one or more computing devices of a security service to perform operations comprising:
- associating a rating with a client entity, the rating indicative of the client entity's participation in a group of client entities that share security information with one another;
- and
- performing at least one of:
- enabling at least one other client entity in the group of client entities to affect the rating of the client entity;
- or
- adjusting the rating based on actions of the client entity either taken or refrained from with respect to sharing security information with one or more other client entities in the group of client entities.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of computing devices associated with a plurality of entities, the entities belonging to a group of entities that share security information with each other;
- and
- a plurality of agents respectively implemented on the plurality of computing devices, the agents sharing the security information with one another and utilizing the security information in observing or reacting to execution activities of the computing devices on which they are implemented.
