  • Security protection rule prediction and enforcement
    Patent number: 11374958
    Abstract: A method provides an intermediate mitigation of a vulnerability in a particular computer system. One or more processors receive a description of a vulnerability of a computer system to a malicious attack. The processor(s) perform an NLP analysis of the description of the vulnerability in order to extract risk information related to the vulnerability, where the risk information includes an identity of a type of vulnerable computer system resource in the computer system. The processor(s) match the vulnerable computer system resource to a computer system resource in a particular computer system, and perform an intermediate mitigation action that reduces a functionality of the computer system resource in the particular computer system until a solution is implemented that both restores the functionality of the computer system resource in the particular computer system and mitigates the vulnerability of the particular computer system to the malicious attack.
