Abstract
The invention relates generally to monitoring and managing network components, such as monitoring the network components to determine the vulnerabilities of the network components, implementing remediation plans for the vulnerabilities, instituting remediation exceptions for the vulnerabilities, and taking consequence actions for the vulnerabilities. When implementing the remediation plan, at least a portion of the network component may be frozen such that a user cannot operate at least a portion of the network component until the vulnerability is remediated. After implementing the remediation plan, monitoring of the network components and the remediation plan continues in order to identify triggers. If a trigger is identified, the consequence action may be implemented, which may prevent operation of the network components by disconnecting or blocking them from the network, uninstalling the network component, deactivating or powering down the network component.
