In a computer system, processing of security-related tasks is delegated to various agent computers. According to various embodiments, a distributed computing service obtains task requests to be performed for the benefit of beneficiary computers, and delegates those tasks to one or more remote agent computers for processing. The delegation is based on a suitability determination as to whether each of the remote agent computers is suitable to perform the processing. Suitability can be based on an evaluation of such parameters as computing capacity and current availability of the remote agent computers against the various tasks to be performed and their corresponding computing resource requirements. This evaluation can be performed according to various embodiments by the agent computers, the distributed computing service, or by a combination thereof.
