Patent number: 12015630Abstract: 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.
