SYSTEM FOR REGULATING HOST SECURITY CONFIGURATION
First Claim
1. A recommendation engine coupled to a server computer in communication with a plurality of hosts, the recommendation engine comprising:
- computer readable intrusion-protection instructions stored in a memory device, which cause a processor of said server computer to;
determine a current host-protection configuration for a target host;
detect discrepancy between said current host-protection configuration and a prior host-protection configuration;
install said current host-protection configuration in said target host upon detecting said discrepancy;
record successive host-reconfiguration periods, a host reconfiguration period being a difference between successive instants of time at which a current host-protection configuration differs from a prior host-protection configuration;
determine a monitoring period according to a value of at least one of said successive host-reconfiguration periods; and
a scheduler for activating said intrusion-protection instructions according to said monitoring period.

Abstract
A recommendation engine coupled to a server computer in communication with a plurality of hosts is described. The recommendation engine includes computer readable intrusion-protection instructions stored in a memory device, which cause a processor of said server computer to determine a current host-protection configuration for a target host; detect discrepancy between said current host-protection configuration and a prior host-protection configuration; install said current host-protection configuration in said target host upon detecting said discrepancy; record successive host-reconfiguration periods, a host reconfiguration period being a difference between successive instants of time at which a current host-protection configuration differs from a prior host-protection configuration; determine a monitoring period according to a value of at least one of said successive host-reconfiguration periods; and a scheduler for activating said intrusion-protection instructions according to said monitoring period.
