Abstract
One embodiment disclosed relates to a method of proactive containment of network security attacks. Filtering parameters corresponding to a specific system vulnerability are determined. These parameters are distributed to network infrastructure components, and the network infrastructure components examine packets using these parameters to detect occurrence of an attack. Once an attack is detected, the network infrastructure components take action to inhibit the attack. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
