Abstract
Techniques are described herein for reducing a risk exposure related to a software application. The techniques may comprise receiving an indication of a software application, identifying a number of components associated with that software application as well as a number of vulnerability scores corresponding to the number of components, determining, based on the number of vulnerability scores, a risk score associated with the software application, and identifying one or more updates associated with the number of components and determining a change to the risk score associated with those one or more updates. In embodiments, the techniques may further comprise receiving an indication of a threshold risk score and determining at least one of the one or more updates that, when applied to at least one of the number of components, is determined to lower the risk score to below the threshold risk score.
