Abstract
In one embodiment, the present invention provides for receiving security events from a network device by a distributed software agent of a network security system, determining a priority of each received security event, and storing the security events in a plurality of prioritized event buffers based on the determined priorities for a period of time determined by a timer. Upon expiration of the timer, a batch of security events for transport to a security event manager of the network security system can be created by including security events in the batch in order of priority until the batch is full.
