Abstract: Network entities of a network system are managed in an end-of-life context. A network system is scanned to determine network entities such as hardware devices and/or software applications. A network entity can be identified as vulnerable based on end-of-life data. A risk score for the vulnerable network entity is computed based on the end-of-life data and optionally other factors, and a potentially mitigating action is determined based on the risk score.

Abstract: The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of managing network entities. The innovation scans a network system to determine network entities, e.g. hardware devices and/or software applications. The innovation receives version information about hardware and software. The innovation compares version information to end-of-life information regarding the network entities. The innovation determines potential mitigating actions based on the comparison and creates an end-of-schedule for managing vendor contracts with regards to end-of-life network entities.
