  • System and method for prioritizing distributed system risk remediations
    Patent number: 11831670
    Abstract: A server system obtains, for machines in a distributed system, system risk information, such as information identifying open sessions between respective users and respective machines, information identifying vulnerabilities in respective machines; and administrative rights information identifying groups of users having administrative rights to respective machines. The server system determines security risk factors, including risk factors related to lateral movement between logically coupled machines, and generates machine risk assessment values for at least a subset of the machines, based on a weighted combination of the risk factors. A user interface that includes a list of machines, sorted in accordance with the machine risk assessment values is presented to a user.
