METHODS, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS AND DATA STRUCTURES FOR INSTRUSION DETECTION, INTRUSION RESPONSE AND VULNERABILITY REMEDIATION ACROSS TARGET COMPUTER SYSTEMS.

摘要

Computer security threat management information is generated by receiving a notification of a security threat and/or a notification of a test that detects intrusion of a computer security threat. A computer-actionable TMV is generated from the notification that was received. The TMV includes a computer-readable field that provides identification of at least one system type that is effected by the computer security threat, a computer-readable field that provides identification of a release level for a system type, and a computer-readable field that provides identification of the test that detects intrusion of the computer security threat for a system type and a release level, a computer-readable field that provides identification of a method to reverse the intrusion exploit of the computer security threat for a system type and a release level, and a computer-readable field that provides identification of a method to remediate the vulnerability subject to exploit of the computer security threat for a system and a release level. The TMV is transmitted to target systems for processing by the target systems.
