Abstract
The embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a continuous vulnerability assessment system for detecting exploitable vulnerabilities. For example, an agent executes on a plurality of computing devices. Each agent profiles various pieces of software executing on its respective device and obtains various characteristics thereof. For instance, each agent determines, among other things, the length of time certain software executes on the device. Each agent provides descriptors of the determined characteristics to a vulnerability assessment engine. The engine determines a cumulative length of time that each particular piece of software executed across the plurality of computing devices. The engine also determines whether a vulnerability exists with respect to each particular piece of software, assigns a security risk level for the software based at least on the determined vulnerability and the cumulative length of time, and performs an action to mitigate the determined vulnerability based on the security risk level.
