A system and method are disclosed for automatic management of a capture-the-flag competition and the visual display of the scoring thereof. The system includes a team-specific virtual control system with flags distributed throughout it, a scoring component for receiving the flags and tracking the score for the teams of the competition, and a physical model for visually displaying the completed challenges of the competition on the physical model. The physical model may rotate through display states that each depict the completed challenges for a particular team.

System and method for managing a competition

In an embodiment, a security auditing component obtains a solution set that is based upon a security audit of an enterprise network, the solution set characterizing a set of solutions associated with a set of security issues associated with one or more assets of the enterprise network, detects that the solution set can be condensed into a condensed solution set that mitigates the set of security issues to the same degree as the solution set, the detection being based at least in part upon (i) one or more rules applied to one or more solution texts and/or (ii) asset-specific metadata and/or (iii) static metadata, and condenses, based on the detecting, the solution set into the condensed solution set by combining two or more subsets of related solutions and/or filtering the solution set to remove one or more subsets of redundant or superseded solutions.

Managing supersedence of solutions for security issues among assets of an enterprise network

In an embodiment, an asset may utilize one or more scanning techniques to detect a first set of software components that is not being natively tracked by an operating system of the asset, the one or more scanning techniques comprising one or more of an evaluation of metadata associated with one or more running processes of the asset, and an evaluation of file system information that characterizes the first set of software components. The asset may further store an indication of the first set of software components detected in accordance with the one or more scanning techniques, and may optionally report the indication to an external entity (e.g., a vulnerability management system).
