System, method and computer program product for improving computer network intrusion detection by risk prioritization

摘要

A system, method and computer program product are provided for prioritized network security. Initially, a risk assessment scan is conducted for identifying vulnerabilities on a network device. Next, network communications are identified that exploit the vulnerabilities identified by the risk assessment scan before identifying network communications that exploit other vulnerabilities. In other words, network communications are monitored for identifying any exploitation of the vulnerabilities identified by the risk assessment scan before identifying any exploitation of other vulnerabilities.
