MULTI-OBJECTIVE COMPUTER INFRASTRUCTURE VULNERABILITY PRIORITIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240275807 titled 'MULTI-OBJECTIVE COMPUTER INFRASTRUCTURE VULNERABILITY PRIORITIZATION

The abstract of this patent application describes techniques for prioritizing vulnerabilities in computer infrastructure based on multiple objectives.

• Obtaining vulnerabilities associated with computer infrastructure elements
• Obtaining objectives for ranking the vulnerabilities
• Determining an initial population of individual solutions for addressing the vulnerabilities
• Performing a multi-objective optimization to revise the population of individual solutions
• Selecting an individual solution based on fitness score
• Initiating automated actions to address vulnerabilities in the selected solution

Potential Applications: - Cybersecurity companies - IT departments of large organizations - Government agencies

Problems Solved: - Efficient prioritization of vulnerabilities - Automated actions for addressing vulnerabilities

Benefits: - Improved security of computer infrastructure - Resource optimization in vulnerability management

Commercial Applications: Title: "Multi-Objective Computer Infrastructure Vulnerability Prioritization System" This technology can be used by cybersecurity firms to offer enhanced vulnerability management services to clients, increasing their competitiveness in the market.

Questions about Multi-Objective Computer Infrastructure Vulnerability Prioritization: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of vulnerability management in computer infrastructure?

  - This technology streamlines the process by prioritizing vulnerabilities based on multiple objectives, allowing for more effective allocation of resources.

Original Abstract Submitted

techniques are provided for multi-objective computer infrastructure vulnerability prioritization. one method comprises obtaining vulnerabilities associated with computer infrastructure elements; obtaining objectives for ranking the vulnerabilities; determining an initial population of individual solutions for addressing the vulnerabilities, wherein each individual solution comprises a ranked list of vulnerabilities; performing a multi-objective optimization that modifies the initial population of individual solutions to obtain a revised population of individual solutions, wherein each individual solution in the revised population comprises a fitness score and a ranked list of the at least some vulnerabilities; selecting an individual solution in the revised population based on the fitness score; and initiating an automated action to address one or more vulnerabilities in the selected individual solution using the ranked list of at least some vulnerabilities for the selected at least one individual solution.
