Abstract: In an example, a context-aware network is disclosed, including threat intelligence services provided over a data exchange layer (DXL). The data exchange layer may be provided on an enterprise service bus, and may include services for classifying objects as malware or not malware. One or more DXL brokers may provide messaging services including, for example, publish-subscribe messaging and request-response messaging. Advantageously, DXL endpoint devices must make very few assumptions about other DXL endpoint devices.

Abstract: In an example, there is disclosed a computing apparatus, including: a network interface; one or more logic elements providing a security orchestration server engine operable for: receiving contextual data from a client via a network interface; providing the contextual data to a security orchestration state machine, the security orchestration state machine operable for deriving a policy decision from the contextual data; and receiving the policy decision from the policy orchestration state machine. There is also disclosed one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable mediums having stored thereon executable instructions for providing a security orchestration engine, and a method of providing a security orchestration engine.
