Zusammenfassung:A method of provisioning a computer against computer attacks includes constructing a hierarchy characterizing different computer attacks and counter measures, and traversing this hierarchy to identify computer attacks and countermeasures relevant to a target platform. Detection and protection measures are collected in response to this traversing. These detection and protection measures are then downloaded to a security sensor associated with the target platform.
