Abstract
Techniques, methods and/or apparatuses are disclosed that enable prioritization of vulnerabilities in different applications or the same application on different assets. A risk assessment component collects information related to the use environment, activity, functions, and configuration of a device and each of its applications. This collected information is analyzed to prioritize vulnerabilities that may be common across applications but have different levels of risk of exploitation based on their environment, activity, functions, or configuration. The risk of exploitation of a vulnerability is calculated for each asset, for each application, and each application on an asset.
