Abstract: A machine-actionable memory comprises one or more machine-actionable records arranged according to a data structure. Such a data structure may include links that respectively map between a remediation, at least one action, and at least two vulnerabilities. A method of selecting a remediation, that is appropriate to a vulnerability which is present on a machine to be remediated, may include: providing a machine-actionable memory as mentioned above; and indexing into the memory using: a given vulnerability identifier to determine (A) at least one of a remediation mapped thereto and (B) at least one action mapped to the given vulnerability identifier; and/or a given remediation to determine at least two vulnerabilities mapped thereto.

Abstract: A machine-actionable memory comprises one or more machine-actionable records arranged according to a data structure. Such a data structure may include links that respectively map between: a RID field, the contents of which denote an identification (ID) of a remediation (RID); at least one TID field, the contents of which denotes an ID of at least two technologies (TIDs), respectively; and at least one ACTID field, the contents of which denotes an ID of an action (ACTID). A method, of selecting a remediation that is appropriate to a technology present on a machine to be remediated, may include: providing such a machine-actionable memory; and indexing into the memory using a given RID value and a given TID value to determine values of the at-least-one ACTID corresponding to the given RID value and appropriate to the given TID value.

Abstract: A method of mapping a remediation to a plurality of vulnerabilities may include: assessing susceptibility of an non-remediated machine to a first vulnerability, which results in a first set of two or more vulnerabilities to which the machine is susceptible; implementing the remediation upon the machine; assessing susceptibility of the remediated machine to the first vulnerability, which results in a second set of vulnerabilities to which the machine is susceptible; and creating a machine-actionable map between the remediation and two or more members of the first set based upon differences between the first and second sets.
