  • System and method for identifying system vulnerabilities
    Patent number: 11095675
    Abstract: The invention relates to detecting vulnerabilities in technology infrastructure environments. Data describing vulnerabilities detected in a technological environment of an enterprise is obtained.

The enriched data is enhanced using one or more of the following proceses: deduplicating records in the enriched data; modifying of a severity assigned to vulnerabilities based on one or more enterprise-infrastructure factors; archiving and purging of records included in the enriched data; consolidating IP addresses associated with the vulnerabilities; excepting records in the enriched data for vulnerabilities undergoing active remediation; and validating the enriched data.
