发明名称 Pre-emptive application blocking for updates
摘要 Systems and methods are provided for pre-emptively isolating vulnerabilities, or potential vulnerabilities in a network. In one embodiment, application data corresponding to a plurality of software applications hosted by respective network devices is stored in a network database. Based on the application data, a set of applications is determined that correspond to a software update. The set of applications are then blocked such that they cannot be executed until the software update is applied or until it is determined that they do not include a vulnerability targeted by the software update. In some embodiments, applications are blocked when a vulnerability becomes known, even if a fix for the vulnerability is not yet known. In one embodiment, new devices attempting to connect to the network are restricted until known vulnerabilities are resolved.
