Abstract

An endpoint in an enterprise network is configured to respond to internal and external detections of compromise in a manner that permits the endpoint to cooperate with other endpoints to secure the enterprise network. For example, the endpoint may be configured to self-isolate when local monitoring detects a compromise on the endpoint, and to respond to an external notification of compromise of another endpoint by restricting communications with that other endpoint.
