WEB APPLICATION EXPLOIT MITIGATION IN AN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided herein for facilitating security in an information technology environment. Web application security vulnerabilities are discovered and addressed by means of virtual patches deployed to components of the information technology environment. An intelligent feedback loop is created to fill the void in the security of the web application when implemented in the specific information technology environment, thereby providing end-to-end security application management through dynamic, pre-emptive, and proactive security awareness and protection in the information technology environment. As new web application security vulnerabilities are discovered, the vulnerability is diagnosed and resolved to preemptively prevent exploitation of the security vulnerability.
