  • Publication number: 20240333753
    Abstract: A system includes a data channel configured to provide device connectivity data associated with an entity, a data channel communication network configured to communicate the device connectivity data from the data channel, and a processing circuit communicatively coupled to the data channel via the data channel communication network. The processing circuit is structured to identify a vulnerability associated with a property of the device connectivity data, generate a scanner uniform resource locator (URL) based on the property of the device connectivity data, the scanner URL including a parametrized scanner executable structured to accept as a parameter at least a part of the property of the device connectivity data, and transmit the scanner URL to a computing system.

  • Patent number: 12015630
    Abstract: Systems and methods for vulnerability remediation based on a dynamic security model are disclosed. Device connectivity data for an entity external to an identifier entity is received by the identifier entity. A vulnerability is identified and risk-scored based on a property parsed from the device connectivity data. The identifier entity may execute an automatic action to prevent the identifier entity from receiving electronic communications from the affected component of the external entity. Further, based on the risk score meeting various parameters, a hyperlink is generated by the identifier entity and provided to the external entity. The hyperlink may include a remediation executable parametrized using the property parsed from the device connectivity data. The remediation executable may include a reference to a patch structured to remediate the vulnerability. Once the external entity remediates the vulnerability, the external entity may initiate a rescan of its affected component.
