Abstract: Systems and methods of assessing vulnerability or risk associated with a computer technology are presented. The system and method may include receiving a listing of vulnerability occurrences associated with the computer technology and determining a severity of each of the vulnerability occurrences. The number of occurrences and severity may be combined to determine a vulnerability security score which provides an objective measure of the risk or vulnerability of the computer technology based on historical data. The vulnerability security score may then be used to make risk based decisions regarding implementation of the computer technology, elimination of use of the technology, and the like.

Abstract: An architecture record can be created for a computer system that includes a plurality of computing devices, each having an operating system. The architecture record includes platform definition architectures each associated with one of the computing devices and the operating system of the computing device, domain reference architectures each associated with one or more of the platform definition architectures and a service performed by the computing device of each platform definition architecture, and channel reference architectures each associated with one or more of the domain reference architectures, wherein the computing devices associated with the one or more domain reference architectures are configured to communicate with each other while performing the respective services associated with the one or more domain reference architectures.
