Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus for a distributed security that provides security processing external to a network edge. The system can include many distributed processing nodes and one or more authority nodes that provide security policy data, threat data, and other security data to the processing nodes. The processing nodes detect and stop the distribution of malware, spyware and other undesirable content before such content reaches the destination network and computing systems.
