Abstract
Methods, devices, systems and computer program products enable monitoring and responding to cyber security attacks. One such system relates to a consortium of monitoring companies and an infrastructure including one or more central monitoring stations or local handling stations for a monitoring company are provided. A central monitoring station of a monitoring company detects a cyberattack that has been launched against a client computer system, and requests a local station to respond to the cyberattack via onsite visits or requests additional resources from other monitoring companies through the consortium system. The central monitoring station also sends to the consortium system updates on a cyberattack that is detected or mitigated by a central monitoring station or local handling station of the monitoring company. The monitoring consortium enables stronger capabilities than any individual monitoring company can offer by the combination and coordination of the efforts and resources of the members.
