1. A computerized method for generating an improved cyber-security rule ordering for cyber-security threat detection or post-processing activities conducted by a rules-based cyber-security engine deployed within a network device, the method comprising:
analyzing metadata to determine one or more salient rules from a plurality of rules;
based on an analysis of the metadata, reprioritizing the plurality of rules by at least rearranging a processing order of the plurality of rules into a first ordered rule sequence to produce a first rule set, the first rule set including the one or more salient rules being positioned toward a start of the first ordered rule sequence; and
providing information associated with the first rule set for use by the cyber-security engine of the network device to perform analyses of incoming data received by the network device in accordance with the first rule set in (i) detecting whether the received data constitutes the potential cyber-security threat or (ii) performing the post-processing activities.
