1. A computer-implemented method for providing quantified reliance data for a device in a plurality of electronic computing device nodes the method comprising:
instrumenting said device to generate at least two datasets comprising at least one device feature vector, each said feature vector being encoded in a form suitable for transmission over a connection in said network, said instrumenting comprising generating a device feature vector representing at least one device logical state selected from a software library state, a software usage statistical value, and a software error state;
performing computational inferencing over said at least two datasets to generate quantified reliance data comprising at least one of a trust indicator, a diagnostic indicator and a performance indicator associated with said device;
supplying said quantified reliance data in a form usable for selecting an action to be performed, wherein said supplying said quantified reliance data comprises signalling to a decision engine for a data source selection process, the decision engine operable to use said supplied quantified reliance data to select an action, said action being at least one of a shut down or a quarantine of said device; and
performing the selected action by and to said electronic computing device node in accordance with the decision engine selection.
