System and method for providing network security

摘要

A method includes receiving an indication of at least one detected security issue at a network device. The indication is received at a security manager processor from a security agent. The method includes selecting, via the security manager processor, at least one executable security object responsive to the indication. The security manager processor verifies compatibility between the at least one executable security object, the network device, and communication media. The method also includes sending the at least one executable security object to the network device via the security manager processor to provide a protective security measure to the network device against the at least one detected security issue upon execution of the at least one executable security object.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving an indication of a detected security issue at a network device, wherein the indication is received at a security manager processor from a security agent posing as a network intruder to detect a security issue at the network device, and wherein the indication is received in response to detection of the detected security issue by the security agent; selecting, via the security manager processor, an executable security object responsive to the indication, wherein the security manager processor verifies compatibility between the executable security object and the network device; verifying availability of the executable security object in a security service profile package; and sending the executable security object to the network device via the security manager processor to provide a protective security measure to the network device against the detected security issue upon execution of the executable security object.
