Abstract

A computer-implemented device provides security events from publishers to subscribers. There is provided a message bus, configured to contain a plurality of security events. Also provided is a receiver unit, responsive to a plurality of publishers, to receive the plurality of security events from the publishers. There is also a queue unit, responsive to receipt of the security events, to queue the plurality of security events in the message bus. Also, there is a transport unit, responsive to the security events in the message bus, to transport the plurality of security events in the message bus to a plurality of subscribers.
