Abstract
The invention relates generally to monitoring and managing network components, such as monitoring the network components to determine the vulnerabilities of network components, implementing remediation plans for the vulnerabilities, instituting remediation suppression for the vulnerabilities, and taking consequence actions for the vulnerabilities when remediation is no longer suppressed and fails to be implemented. Remediation suppression may be implemented for the vulnerability when the vulnerability is determined to be an acceptable vulnerability. The remediation suppression may be based on a request from a user, based on organization policy, and/or based on logic determining that the vulnerability is acceptable. When the remediation suppression occurs at least a part of the remediation plan, consequence action, and/or reporting is suppressed. While suppression may occur, the remediation suppression, the vulnerabilities, the organization's policies, and/or the network components may still be monitored to monitor changes will change the suppression of the vulnerabilities.
