A system as disclosed herein analyzes unresolved vulnerabilities against current configurations of devices of a network to generate an impact analysis report which provides a comprehensive view of the impact of the vulnerabilities on the network. This provides a manageable perspective of risk assessment and remediation for the network. To maintain a current view of device configurations, telemetry data streams are collected from the devices. A listing of outstanding or unresolved cybersecurity vulnerabilities is also maintained. When an analysis trigger is detected, the system extracts values of configuration properties for devices from the telemetry data streams and analyses them against the list of vulnerabilities to determine devices affected by the vulnerabilities. Tracking data are maintained according to the determinations of affected devices across vulnerabilities. This data is aggregated into an impact report that indicates impact of vulnerabilities to the network.
