Systems and methods for enabling a global aggregated search, while allowing configurable client anonymity

Abstract:

A system can enable a global search of security data of a client base. The system can include a processor operable to record anonymity values set by clients of the client base, and to receive search requests including one or more search parameters from the clients. Upon receipt of a search request, processor can generate a result set for the received search request and determine an aggregated anonymity value for the result set. The processor further may compare the aggregated anonymity value of the results set with a set anonymity value for each of the clients for filtering or removing the data points or information of the one or more clients with the set anonymity value that is greater than the aggregate anonymity value from the result set.
