Abstract
A cyber security appliance and computerized method for detecting and disabling malicious endpoints is described. Upon receiving information associated with one or more endpoints including a first endpoint, the cyber security appliance determines, based on conducting analytics on a portion of the information by a cyber security appliance, whether the first endpoint constitutes a malicious endpoint. In response to detecting the malicious endpoint, the cyber security appliance requests authorization to launch an offensive countermeasure against the malicious endpoint and, upon receiving the authorization, conducts the offensive countermeasure against the malicious endpoint by at least continuously disrupting or disabling communications over a network utilized by the malicious endpoint.
