Abstract
A communication network is defended using a distributed infrastructure that leverages coordination across disparate abstraction levels. At each node computing device comprising a communication network, a stored event list is used to detect at least one node event which occurs at a machine code level and is known to have the potential to interfere directly with the internal operation of the node computing device. The at least one node event is one which is exclusive of an event within a network communication domain. In response to detecting the at least one node event at one of the plurality of network nodes, an optimal network-level defensive action is automatically selectively determined by the network. The network level defensive action will involve a plurality of network nodes comprising the communication network.
