Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory storage medium comprising:
a rule priorities data store configured to maintain analytic rules that control operability of cyber-security engines installed in remotely located network devices; and
rule prioritization logic configured to (i) receive metadata based on cyber-security threat analyses performed by a rule-based cyber-security engine operating in accordance with a first rule set, (ii) evaluate the metadata to determine one or more salient rules from a plurality of analytic rules forming the first rule set, (iii) generate a second rule set by reprioritizing one or more of the plurality of analytic rules within the first rule set from a first ordered rule sequence into a second ordered rule sequence differing from the first ordered rule sequence, the second rule set including the one or more salient rules being positioned toward a start of the second ordered rule sequence, and (iv) provide information associated with the second rule set for use by the rule-based cyber-security engine in conducting further cyber-security threat analyses.
