Abstract
Systems and methods provide for a situational awareness and perimeter protection orchestration system to determine when network attacks are occurring or are about to occur, and provide tools and services to mitigate the attacks. The attacks can be denial of service attacks or distributed denial of service attacks or other types of attacks designed to disable and degrade a network. The dashboard can collect intelligence on what is happening on the network, and also streams of information from third parties that can be used to predict imminent network attacks. The dashboard can also determine what tools and services are available to the network operator in order to counteract the attacks.
