Abstract: In an example, a computer-implemented method may include receiving vulnerability data indicative of a vulnerability associated with a computing environment from a security scanning platform. Further, the method may include determining a type of the vulnerability and determining an operating system component, an application component, or both being vulnerable to a security threat based on the type of vulnerability. Furthermore, the method may include determining a compute node, of the computing environment, hosting the operating system component, the application component, or both that are vulnerable. Further, the method may include generating an alert notification indicating that the operating system component, the application component, or both along with the determined compute node are vulnerable to the security threat.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a method for efficiently inventorying a plurality of items of media contained in a library is provided. The method includes reading a barcode located on an item of media that contains contents and determining whether the barcode is known. Optionally, the method may also determine if the know item of media was previously offline. If it is determined that the barcode is known, the media is identified as known. However, if it is determined that the barcode is not known, a detailed inventory of the contents of the item of media is performed. In one embodiment, if it is determined that the barcode is not known, a user is notified that a new item of media has been identified.
