Abstract

An illustrative method for monitoring a cloud environment may include determining, based on a scan of a compute environment, a set of vulnerable software components in the compute environment, identifying a subset of the vulnerable software components that satisfy an active vulnerability exception, and performing, based on the set of the vulnerable software components, a remedial operation, wherein the subset of the vulnerable software components is deprioritized for the remedial operation based on the active vulnerability exception.
