A computer-implemented device provides security events from publishers to subscribers. There is provided a message bus, configured to contain a plurality of security events. Also provided is a receiver unit, responsive to a plurality of publishers, to receive the plurality of security events from the publishers. There is also a queue unit, responsive to receipt of the security events, to queue the plurality of security events in the message bus. Also, there is a transport unit, responsive to the security events in the message bus, to transport the plurality of security events in the message bus to a plurality of subscribers.

A system and method for analyzing events from devices relating to network security, includes a device interface(s), for receiving events from devices. One or more processors, responsive to the event received pursuant to the device interfaces, evaluate the event in accordance with rules, wherein the rules define, inter alia, an operation the system is to take to evaluate the event and an action to be taken under specified conditions. Also, the processor can determine, responsive to the received event, whether the event is of interest, and if not, discarding the event. The processor can provide a correlation corresponding to the at least one event, for the rules.
