Abstract
Information security may include defending information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, destruction, and so forth. Described herein are systems, methods and devices for enabling a user device to implement functions for dynamically identifying and reacting to potentially malicious activity. In one example, a user device configures a sentinel node to identify potentially malicious behavior by causing the sentinel node to analyze data from selected emitter nodes and selected algorithms. The user device may also specify how the sentinel node reacts to potential malicious activity.
