Patent number: 9117069Abstract: A security information management system is described, wherein client-side devices preferably collect and monitor information describing the operating system, software, and patches installed on the device(s), as well as configuration thereof A database of this information is maintained, along with data describing vulnerabilities of available software and associated remediation techniques available for it. The system exposes an API to support security-related decisions by other applications. For example, an intrusion detection system (IDS) accesses the database to determine whether an actual threat exists and should be (or has been) blocked.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2013Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: SecurityProfiling, LLCInventors: Brett M.
