Abstract: Prioritizing vulnerability scan results is provided. Vulnerability scan results data corresponding to a network of data processing systems are received from a vulnerability scanner. The vulnerability scan results data are parsed to group the vulnerability scan results data by vulnerability identifiers. A corresponding security threat information identifier is associated with each vulnerability identifier. A correlation of each associated security threat information identifier is performed with a set of current vulnerability exploit data that corresponds to that particular security threat information identifier. Current security threat information that affects host data processing systems in the network is determined based on the correlation between each associated security threat information identifier and its corresponding set of current vulnerability exploit data. The current security threat information is prioritized based on a number of corresponding current vulnerability exploit attacks.
