Abstract
One or more relevant scanners used to identify asset vulnerabilities are identified, obtained, and logically arranged for deployment on an asset in accordance with a vulnerability management policy and a scanner deployment policy such that the relevant scanners are deployed at, or before, a determined ideal time to minimize the resources necessary to correct the vulnerabilities, if found. The relevant scanners are then automatically deployed in accordance with the scanner deployment policy and, if a vulnerability is identified, one or more associated remedies or remedy procedures are applied to the asset. At least one of the one or more relevant scanners are then re-deployed on the asset to determine if the identified vulnerability has been corrected and, if the vulnerability is not corrected at, or before, a defined time, protective measures are automatically taken.
