Abstract
A method of mapping a remediation to a plurality of vulnerabilities may include: assessing susceptibility of an non-remediated machine to a first vulnerability, which results in a first set of two or more vulnerabilities to which the machine is susceptible; implementing the remediation upon the machine; assessing susceptibility of the remediated machine to the first vulnerability, which results in a second set of vulnerabilities to which the machine is susceptible; and creating a machine-actionable map between the remediation and two or more members of the first set based upon differences between the first and second sets.
