System for component-level threat assessment in a computing environment

Abstract

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for component-level threat assessment in a computing environment. The present disclosure is configured to capture state information associated with a computing environment; determine correlation measures for the components in the computing environment based on at least the state information; determine threat vectors associated with the components; determine mitigation protocols to be implemented on the components in response to an incidence of the threat vectors on the components; determine a first sequence in which the mitigation protocols are to be implemented based on at least the correlation measures for the components; and implement the mitigation protocols on the components in the first sequence to reduce a propagation effect of the threat vectors across the computing environment.
