Abstract

A method and apparatus for dynamically and automatically optimizing multiple filter/stage security systems whereby a multiple filter/stage security system is provided that includes two or more filters or “stages” and is initially implemented such that the two or more filters/stages are used in an initial order, i.e., in a defined initial sequence. At least two of the two or more filters/stages are then monitored to determine the composite “cost” and/or effectiveness of each filter/stage. Data representing the results of the monitoring of the at least two of the two or more filters/stages is then analyzed to determine a cost/use profile for each filter/stage and the cost/use profile for each filter/stage is then analyzed to determine an optimal order of the at least two of the two or more filters/stages, i.e., an optimal filter/stage sequence, based on actual filter/stage use, actual composite filter/stage cost, and/or user and/or system defined priorities. The optimal filter/stage sequence is then implemented.
