Abstract

A distributed security assistance framework is proposed that unifies security mechanisms to provide enterprise-wide security defence to computer network systems. The proposed security framework offers capabilities for distributed threat detection, integrated analysis and coordinated response via security spaces. It also offers extension mechanisms to coordinate human countermeasures in protecting networks. The framework is underpinned on a new security paradigm - sensor, analysis and response
