1. A system for managing network alerts comprising:
- data connections configured to receive network alerts from network sensors;
alert processing logic coupled to the data connections and further comprising;
alert integration logic configured to integrate the network alerts, the alert integration logic comprising a consolidation component that is configured to identify multiple received alerts as indicative of a common incident and consolidate the multiple received alerts into a consolidated incident report that is indicative of the incident;
report generation logic coupled to the alert integration logic;
distribution logic coupled to the report generation logic; and
a remote management unit coupled to the alert processing logic and being configured to dynamically modify the alert processing logic.
