Abstract
The present invention is directed to a facility for distributing network security information. The facility receives network security information and recipient selection information specifying a characteristic of perspective recipients to be used in selecting recipients for the security information. The facility then compares the received recipient selection information to each of a plurality of perspective recipient profiles. Each perspective recipient profile corresponds to one or more perspective recipients and indicates one or more characteristics of the perspective recipients relating to the receipt of network security information. Based upon this comparison, the facility selects at least a portion of the plurality of perspective recipients as recipients of the network security information, and addresses the network security information to each of the selected recipients.
