Abstract
A security system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, a selection of at least one security event attribute is received. In addition, a subset of a first set of security events is displayed based on the at least one selected security event attribute. Moreover, information associated with the at least one selected security event attribute is stored. Such information is further capable of being used to subsequently and automatically summarize a subset of a second set of security events.
Claims22
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a selection of at least one security event attribute;
- displaying a subset of a first set of security events based on the at least one selected security event attribute;
- and
- storing information associated with the at least one selected security event attribute;
- wherein the information is capable of being used to subsequently and automatically summarize a subset of a second set of security events;
- wherein the subset of the second set of security events is summarized to reduce a number of security events that are displayed.
A computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium, comprising:
- identifying at least one security event attribute;
- displaying a subset of a first set of security events based on the at least one security event attribute;
- and
- storing information associated with the at least one security event attribute;
- wherein the information is capable of being used to subsequently and automatically summarize a subset of a second set of security events;
- wherein the subset of the second set of security events is summarized to reduce a number of security events that are displayed.
A system, comprising:
- a graphical user interface for receiving a selection of at least one security event attribute;
- the graphical user interface displaying a subset of a first set of security events based on the at least one selected security event attribute;
- and
- a database for storing information associated with the at least one selected security event attribute;
- wherein the information is capable of being used to subsequently and automatically summarize a subset of a second set of security events;
- wherein the subset of the second set of security events is summarized to reduce a number of security events that are displayed.
