Abstract
A network device for collecting and distributing cybersecurity intelligence, which features analytics logic and a plurality of plug-ins. The analytics logic is configured to (i) receive a request message to conduct a cybersecurity analysis and (ii) select one of a first set or second set of plug-ins to conduct the cybersecurity analysis. Responsive to selecting a first plug-in of the first set of plug-ins by the analytics logic, the system conducts and completes the cybersecurity analysis while a communication session between the first plug-in and a network device initiating the request message remains open. Responsive to selecting a second plug-in by the analytics logic, the system conducts and completes the cybersecurity analysis while allowing the cybersecurity intelligence to be provided in response to the request message during a different and subsequent communication session than the communication session during which the request message is received.
