Abstract
System and method for managing security-relevant information in a computer network uses a security information plane (SIP) manager to which different types of security-relevant data are uploaded from components in the computer network and from which networkwide aggregated security information produced from the security-relevant data is download to a global security controller. The downloaded networkwide aggregated security information is used by the global security controller to control security applications running in the computer network.
