  • Patent number: 11973661
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer system that includes a memory electronically coupled to a processor system. The processor system is operable to perform processor system operations that include accessing a graph model representation of a computer network. The graph model is used to implement a resiliency-problem identification analysis that identifies a set of resiliency problems in the graph model. The graph model is used to apply a resiliency-problem solution analysis to a resiliency problem in the set of resiliency problems to generate a set of resiliency-problem solutions. Each resiliency-problem solution in the set of resiliency-problem solutions is ranked.
