Abstract
Endpoints within a subnet of a heterogeneous network are configured to cooperatively respond to internal or external notifications of compromise in order to protect the endpoints within the subnet and throughout the enterprise network. For example, each endpoint may be configured to self-isolate when a local security agent detects a compromise, and to shun one of the other endpoints in response to a corresponding notification of compromise in order to prevent the other, compromised endpoint from communicating with other endpoints and further compromising other endpoints either within the subnet or throughout the enterprise network.
