Abstract: A cyber-security improvement platform database may store electronic records including information, received from remote submitting devices, associated with vulnerability data for computing elements. Information associated with first vulnerability data for a first computing element may be retrieved from the database and verified. Information about the first vulnerability data may then be recorded in a secure, distributed transaction ledger, and a crypto-currency payment may be transferred in connection with the recorded information. Similarly, the electronic records may further include fix data for computing elements. In this case, first fix data associated with the first vulnerability data may be retrieved, verified, and applied in connection with the first computing element. Additional information, about the first fix data, may then be recorded in the transaction ledger and an additional crypto-currency payment may be transferred in connection with the recorded additional information.
