  • Identifying vulnerabilities in processing nodes
    Patent number: 10819733
    Abstract: A method includes scanning a subset of a plurality of processing nodes in a network for vulnerabilities, selecting a first one of the processing nodes not in the subset, and determining a similarity measure between the first processing node and at least a second one of the processing nodes in the subset identified as having a given vulnerability. Determining the similarity measure comprises determining a first similarity between vulnerabilities previously detected on the first and second processing nodes and determining a second similarity between attributes of the first and second processing nodes, the similarity measure being based at least in part on the first and second similarities. The method also includes identifying that the first processing node has the given vulnerability based at least in part on the similarity measure, and modifying access to the first processing node responsive to identifying that the first processing node has the given vulnerability.
