Abstract:
A method for managing network vulnerabilities may include obtaining image data regarding a software container located on a network element. The image data may describe a software image used to generate the software container. The method may further include determining, using the image data, a software vulnerability of the software image. The method may further include assigning the software vulnerability to a filesystem key. The method may further include generating, using the software vulnerability and the filesystem key, a vulnerability map of a network. The vulnerability map may describe various software vulnerabilities arranged according to various filesystem keys used on the network. The filesystem key may identify data of the software container within a filesystem on the network element.
