METHOD FOR PROVIDING SECURITY POSTURE, FUNCTIONAL UPDATES FOR ENTERPRISE ITDM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17877359 titled 'METHOD FOR PROVIDING SECURITY POSTURE, FUNCTIONAL UPDATES FOR ENTERPRISE ITDM

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed method is for managing enterprise security posture. It involves maintaining a security system repository (SSR) that includes information mapping software libraries to vulnerability information. The method also includes providing library scanning tools to scan the software libraries and provide notifications of new vulnerabilities. An SSR catalog is generated to indicate vulnerability information related to the software libraries. Additionally, an enhanced plugin module (EPM) is provided, which consumes installed application metadata to produce an inventory of updates to deploy.

  • The method involves maintaining a repository of security information called the security system repository (SSR).
  • The SSR includes information that maps software libraries to vulnerability information.
  • Library scanning tools are provided to scan the software libraries and notify about new vulnerabilities.
  • An SSR catalog is generated to indicate vulnerability information related to the software libraries.
  • An enhanced plugin module (EPM) is provided, which consumes installed application metadata.
  • The EPM produces an inventory that indicates updates to deploy.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be used by enterprises to effectively manage their security posture.
  • It can help identify vulnerabilities in software libraries and provide notifications for timely updates.
  • The method can be used to maintain an inventory of updates to deploy, ensuring the security of enterprise systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method solves the problem of effectively managing enterprise security posture.
  • It helps identify vulnerabilities in software libraries and provides notifications for timely updates.
  • The method solves the problem of maintaining an inventory of updates to deploy, ensuring the security of enterprise systems.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method improves the overall security posture of enterprises by effectively managing vulnerabilities.
  • It helps enterprises stay updated with the latest vulnerability information and deploy necessary updates.
  • The method streamlines the process of managing security by providing a centralized repository and scanning tools.


Original Abstract Submitted

A disclosed method for managing enterprise security posture includes maintaining a security system repository (SSR) including information mapping one or more software libraries to vulnerability information indicative of one or more identified vulnerabilities, providing one or more library scanning tools configured to scan the one or more software libraries and provide notifications indicative of one or more new vulnerabilities, generating an SSR catalog indicative of vulnerability information pertaining to the one or more software libraries, and an enhanced plugin module (EPM) is provided wherein the EPM is configured to consume installed application metadata enabling to produce an inventory indicative of updates to deploy.
