Abstract
A prevention-based network auditing system includes an audit repository storing network information gathered by a plurality of heterogeneous information sources. A semantic normalization module identifies semantic equivalencies in the gathered information, and generates a map listing for each fact gathered by an information source, an equivalent fact or set of facts gathered by each of the other information sources. A network policy is then uniformly applied to the information that is identified as being semantically equivalent.
