1. A content detection system, comprising:

  • a processor;

    a communication interface device;

    a content detection module; and

    a data storage device storing;

    content detection data received by the content detection module of a first update station to detect content and for forwarding by the first update station to at least a second update station;

    instructions to process content received via the communication interface device to;

    determine whether received content contains suspicious content data or the suspicious content data is a threat to detect;

    generate content detection data as a function of the received data when the suspicious content data contains or is a threat;

    based on a list of prescribed geographic locations of the plurality of update stations to receive content detection data updates, identify, through execution of instructions on the processor, the first update station to receive the content detection data update;

    identify, through execution of instructions on the processor of the network device, the at least one second update station to receive the content detection data update based on the list of prescribed geographic locations of the plurality of update stations to receive content detection data updates;

    send, from the first update station via the communication interface device, the content detection data update to the at least one second update stations including data identifying at least one content detection module of a plurality of content detection modules, coupled through the network to the plurality of update stations, to receive the content detection data update and at least one instruction to distribute the content detection data update to the identified at least one content detection module, wherein the distribution is performed not in response to a request from the at least one content detection module.
