Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting security blind spots may include (i) detecting, via an endpoint security program, a threat incident at a set of client machines associated with a security vendor server, (ii) obtaining an indication of how the set of client machines will respond to the detecting of the threat incident, (iii) predicting how a model set of client machines would respond to the threat incident, (iv) determining that a delta exceeds a security threshold, and (v) performing a security action by the security vendor server, in response to determining that the delta exceeds the security threshold, to protect the set of client machines at least in part by electronically notifying the set of client machines of information about the prediction of how the model set of client machines would respond to the threat incident. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
