1. A method for protecting a computer asset, the method comprising:
identifying a particular signature, wherein the particular signature is software that causes a particular gateway to block an intrusion from reaching a particular computer asset having a particular asset context;
training a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to identify the particular gateway by inputting the particular signature and the particular asset context into the DNN;
identifying the particular gateway by inputting the particular asset context and the particular signature into the trained DNN; and
installing the particular signature on the particular gateway.
