  • Patent number: 12218965
    Abstract: An embodiment includes a method of vulnerability detection and mitigation in a managed network. The method includes receiving a defined state of a product on a managed endpoint of a managed network. The method includes detecting a trigger event in the managed network. The trigger event is indicative of a change to the managed device or to the product that is inconsistent with the defined state. Responsive to detection of the trigger event, the method includes automatically implementing a product modification process. The product modification process includes distribution of at least one product update to a product installed at the managed endpoint.

  • Publication number: 20240430179
    Abstract: An embodiment includes a method of real-time, endpoint-specific SLA compliance evaluation in a managed network. The method includes receiving SLA definition input that indicates an SLA definition of the managed network. Responsive to detection of a trigger event, the method includes initiating a scan of endpoints including retrieval of endpoint-level state data. The method includes identifying a portion of the retrieved state data relevant to the SLA definition. The method includes aggregating the portions of the retrieved state data. The method includes determining whether the managed network is SLA compliant at an endpoint-level of granularity based on the aggregated portions. Responsive to the managed network being noncompliant, the method includes identifying a subset of endpoints failing to meet the SLA definition and implementing a product modification process to address a metric of the SLA definition and change a product to bring the first endpoint into compliance.
