1. One or more tangible computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions configured to program one or more computing devices of a security service to perform operations comprising:
- associating, by the one or more computing devices of the security service, a rating with a client entity that is a member of a group of client entities that transmit or permit access to security information with one another,individual ones of the group of client entities having security agents stored thereon,at least part of the security information being generated by the security agents in response to execution activities observed or taken by the security agents at the individual ones of the group of client entities,the security agents automatically transmitting or permitting access to at least some of the security information, andthe rating being indicative of the client entity'"'"'s contribution of security information generated by a security agent stored on the client entity to the group of client entities; and
performing at least one of;
enabling at least one other client entity in the group of client entities to affect the rating of the client entity;
oradjusting the rating based on actions of the client entity either taken or refrained from with respect to transmitting or permitting access to security information to one or more other client entities in the group of client entities.

Abstract
Techniques for social sharing security information between client entities forming a group are described herein. The group of client entities is formed as a result of a security server providing one or more secure mechanisms for forming a group among client entities, the client entities each belonging to a different organization. The security service then automatically shares security information of a client entity in the group with one or more other client entities in the group.
