AUTOMATED COMPUTER VULNERABILITY RESOLUTION SYSTEM

摘要

A system and process for addressing computer security vulnerabilities. The system and process generally comprise aggregating vulnerability information on a plurality of computer vulnerabilities; constructing a remediation database of said plurality of computer vulnerabilities; constructing a remediation signature (46) to address the computer vulnerabilities; and deploying said remediation signature (46) to a client computer (40). The remediation signature (46) essentially comprises a sequence of actions to address a corresponding vulnerability. A managed automated approach to the process is contemplated in which the system is capable of selective deployment of remediation signatures (46); selective resolution of vulnerabilities; scheduled deployment of remediation signatures (46); and scheduled scanning of client computers (40) for vulnerabilities.
