Abstract
A computer-implemented method for monitoring the security of a computing network which includes a plurality of hosts and a plurality of edges which link connected hosts. The method comprises capturing and storing first and second network state information at first and second times respectively. The method comprises comparing the first and second network state information to detect a change in the security of the network during the time window between the first and second times. The method further comprises storing security change data which is indicative of the change in the security of the network during the time window for a user to monitor the change in the security of the network.
