Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving information from a plurality of sensors associated with at least one computer, the information relating to events that have occurred at the at least one computer;
correlating the information;
conditionally reacting based on the information;
generating a map of the information utilizing at least one correlation unit;
creating instructions based on the map at the at least one correlation unit; and
transmitting the instructions to at least one of the sensors;
wherein the instructions are transmitted as a data vector;
wherein the data vector is a 3-dimensional data vector that comprises;
a destination port dimension;
a source internet protocol (IP) address dimension; and
a destination IP address dimension; and
wherein values in the 3-dimensional data vector are utilized as coordinates for plotting the information on the map.
