GENERATING AND DISTRIBUTING A MALWARE COUNTERMEASURE

摘要

Embodiments include a system, an apparatus, a device, computer-program product, and a method. An embodiment provides a network, device. The network device includes a countermeasure engine operable to generate a countermeasure useable in at least substantially reducing a harm caused by a malware (hereafter "malware countermeasure"). The network device also includes a decision module operable to determine if a criterion is met for distribution of the generated malware countermeasure to a plurality of networked nodes. The network device further includes a distribution module operable to transmit the generated malware countermeasure to a first set of nodes of the plurality of networked nodes if the criterion is met.
