Abstract:
Disclosed are various approaches to automate vulnerability assessment implement policy-based mitigation. A plurality of vulnerability records from respective ones of a plurality of vulnerability feeds are aggregated. Each of the plurality of vulnerability records are stored in a standardized format. A plurality of enterprise-specific severity scores are generated by calculating an enterprise-specific severity score for each of the plurality of vulnerability records. Then, a web page can be created that includes at least a subset of the plurality of enterprise-specific severity scores and respective ones of the plurality of vulnerability records.
