When attackers gain access to enterprise or corporate networks by compromising authorized users, computers, or applications, the network and its resources can be used to perform distributed and coordinated attacks against third party networks, or even on computers on the network itself. We are working on a decentralized scheme to share alerts in a secure multicast infrastructure to detect and prevent these kind of attacks. In this paper we present a collaborative framework that performs coordinated attack prevention. The detection and prevention process itself is done by a set of collaborative entities that correlate and assemble the pieces of evidence scattered over the different network resources. We also provide an example of how our system can detect and prevent a coordinated attack to demonstrate the practicability of the system.
