Abstract:
An embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for contextualizing vulnerabilities. The method is performed by a server including a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium with computer-executable instructions stored thereon, such that when the instructions are executed by the processor, the server performs the method including: (a) importing raw vulnerability data from a vulnerability scanner, the raw vulnerability data including one or more vulnerability data wherein each vulnerability data includes a vulnerability identification (ID) and an asset value; (b) importing an asset inventory from an asset database; (c) merging the asset inventory and the raw vulnerability data to obtain contextual vulnerability data, the contextual vulnerability data including one or more vulnerability data linked to a vulnerability ID, an asset value, and an asset owner; (d) categorizing the contextual vulnerability data; and (e) generating a report of the categorized contextual vulnerability data.
