Abstract
An automated collection of forensic evidence associated with a security incident is provided by an arrangement in which different security products called endpoints in an enterprise network are enabled for sharing security-related information over a common communication channel using an abstraction called a security assessment. A security assessment is generally configured to indicate an endpoint's understanding of a detected security incident that pertains to an object in the environment which may include users, computers, IP addresses, and website URIs (Universal Resource Identifiers). The security assessment is published by the endpoint into the channel and received by subscribing endpoints. The security assessment triggers the receiving endpoints to go into a more comprehensive or detailed mode of evidence collection. In addition, any forensic evidence having relevance to the security incident that may have already been collected prior to the detection will be marked for retention so that it is not otherwise deleted.
