Abstract

Protection against security attacks involves monitoring network traffic for a computing device security attack and determining whether there is a security event, using one or more network based security tools. Next, it is determined whether an event pattern involving two or more security events meets a predetermined criteria. Upon determining that there is a security attack, corrective action is tailored, based on the type of the computing device, the operating system of the computing device, the type of security attack, and/or the available protection tools. A course of action is performed depending on whether an account of the computing device includes a security protection service. If there is a security protection service, a message is sent over a secure link to the computing device. This message includes the corrective action to cure the computing device from the security attack.
