A system and method for rapidly responding to triggering events or activities in a network system. The system includes a policy enforcement function, a policy manager function, and one or more network devices of the network system. The policy enforcement function includes one or more installed policy sets and/or policy enforcement rule sets suitably responsive to triggering events or activities. Upon detection of a trigger, the policy manager function analyzes the trigger and selects one or more appropriate policy sets and/or policy enforcement rule sets deemed to be responsive to the trigger. Each set has a unique rapid response identifier. The policy manager function signals for implementation of the one or more policy and/or rule sets, based on one or more rapid response identifiers, which are enforced through the policy enforcement function. The policy enforcement function may be a part of one or more of the one or more network infrastructure devices for implementing the policy change. The system and method enable rapid response to a detected trigger (which might be a manual input) by pre-installing responsive policy and/or rule sets first and then generating and transmitting the unique rapid response identifier(s) corresponding to one or more selected policy and/or rule sets for implementation. That is, the network device is already configured with a response through the pre-installed policy and/or rule sets. Responses may be implemented and/or removed gradually, and different network devices may be instructed to implement different policies in response to the same trigger and the same policy may be implemented with different policy enforcement rules on different devices, ports, or interfaces.

Techniques are disclosed for implementing dynamic endpoint management. In accordance with one embodiment, whenever an endpoint joins a managed network for the first time, or rejoins that network, a local security module submits a list of applications (e.g., all or incremental) to a security server. The server validates the list and sends back a rule set (e.g., allow/block rules and/or required application security settings) for those applications. If the server has no information for a given application, it may further subscribe to content from a content provider or service. When the server is queried regarding an unknown application, the server sends a query to the service provider to obtain a trust rating for that unknown application. The trust rating can then be used to generate a rule set for the unknown application. Functionality can be shifted from server to client, and vice-versa if so desired.

An arbitrary number of custom catalogs for an arbitrary number of customers can be published from a centrally maintained database of seller catalog data. The custom catalogs are subsets of the catalog database, and are generated in accordance with a set of rules that defines the scope of the content of the custom catalog. The rule sets define a series of sequential searches by which a subset of the item SKUs contained in the database are returned. For extranet buyers, the subsets for each rule set are maintained in a subset table. Whenever a user authorized by a particular buyer wishes to browse the unique catalog subset assigned to that buyer, any queries regarding the catalog will result first in a search of the full catalog database, and the results from the full search are pared down to only those items the SKUs for which have entries in the subset table associated with the buyer's assigned subset. A buyer-authorized user browses the catalog using a standard PC and browser, and SKUs returned to the user based on the user's query will include descriptive information such as descriptive text, pictures etc., which are displayed by the browser. Buyers who are not coupled to the seller via an extranet connection can have customized subsets of the total catalog database produced in accordance with their own rule sets, and formatted and delivered off-line for incorporation into their web sites and procurement networks.
