Abstract
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to a mechanism for assessing security. In aspects, an analytics engine is provided that manages execution, information storage, and data passing between various components of a security system. When data is available for analysis, the analytics engine determines which security components to execute and the order in which to execute the security components, where in some instances two or more components may be executed in parallel. The analytics engine then executes the components in the order determined and passes output from component to component as dictated by dependencies between the components. This is repeated until a security assessment is generated or updated. The analytics engine simplifies the work of creating and integrating various security components.
