Abstract
Techniques for selectively remediating vulnerabilities for assets of a computing system is disclosed. The vulnerability management system identifies 'active' vulnerabilities associated with 'active' computing assets that have been determined to be currently running, or to have been recently run, on the system using system call data. By limiting remediation to vulnerabilities associated with software packages of active computing assets, remediation/mediation efforts can be focused on vulnerabilities that may be currently exploited for the system. The list of active vulnerabilities identified for a system may be updated in real time based on continued monitoring of runtime operations of the system. Additional context metadata may be associated with the active vulnerabilities to allow for further prioritization of vulnerability management activities. Vulnerability management actions for particular active vulnerability may include updating a software package, adjusting a set of firewall rules, communicating with a client computing device, and displaying vulnerability information in a GUI.
