Abstract

An example method can include monitoring a network to identify flows between nodes in the network. Once flows have been identified, the flows can be tagged and labelled according to the type of traffic they represent. If a flow represents malicious or otherwise undesirable traffic, it can be tagged accordingly. A request can then be made for a reputation score of an entity which can identify one or more nodes of the network.
