Abstract
Described herein is a system and method for detecting vulnerability state deltas, the method comprising the steps of: receiving data related to a network connected device; determining a vulnerability state of the network connected device based upon the data; storing the vulnerability state in a vulnerability state database; receiving additional data related to the network connected device; determining an updated vulnerability state of the network connected device based upon the additional data; determining one or more deltas based upon differences between the vulnerability stare and the updated vulnerability state; and updating the stored vulnerability state with the updated vulnerability state.
