Abstract: Mitigation for combating malicious codes is delivered to particular endpoint computers. A first malicious code pattern is received in a first computer over a computer network. The first computer is scanned using the first malicious code pattern, with the result of the scanning forwarded to a second computer. The first computer is identified as having a file scanned using the first malicious code pattern. In response, the first computer is provided a second malicious code pattern. The first computer is scanned for malicious codes using the second malicious code pattern.

Abstract: Visualization for presenting event information indicative of a computer security threat is automatically selected from available visualizations. Event information received from data sources is assigned a category prior to being stored in an event log. The event log may be searched for relevant event information using the assigned categories. Visualizations applicable to the relevant event information are retrieved and given an importance score, which may be based on execution of prioritization algorithms using corresponding relevant event information. The retrieved visualizations are ranked based on their importance scores. One or more retrieved visualizations that have the best importance scores relative to other retrieved visualization are selected for rendering.
