Abstract

Techniques to facilitate network security analysis and attack response are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a passive analysis system receives a copy of network traffic, performs deep analysis on the copy of network traffic, and generates security data points based on the deep analysis. The passive analysis system then provides the security data points to an active inline security device, wherein the active inline security device compares incoming network traffic to the security data points to detect security events.
