Abstract
A technique for classifying and handling threat data in a rules-based security system. For each rule in the set, a set of one or more first tags are generated. The tags categorize the rule according to a hierarchical scheme. In response to receipt of a new threat, the system automatically determines whether the existing set of rules provide an acceptable coverage for the new threat. This determination is made by generating a set of one or more second tags that categorize the new threat, and then comparing the set of one or more second tags with the set of one or more first tags according to given match criteria. Upon a determination that the set of rules do not provide an adequate coverage for the new threat, a recommendation is output from the system. The rules-based security system is then adjusted according to the recommendation for subsequent handling of the new threat.
