Abstract
A method and apparatus for distributed threat detection in a computer network is described. The method may include receiving, by a threat detection system of a first computer network, a request for a service from a threat sensor of a second computer network, the service requested of the threat sensor within the second computer network from a network element of the second computer network. The method may also include emulating the service identified in the request to generate a response to the request, and sending the response to the threat sensor for forwarding to the network element within the second computer network. Furthermore, the method may include analyzing one or more communications between the threat detection system and the network element during emulation of the service requested by the network element to determine whether the network element is a threat to the second network.
