Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to automatic network architecture configuration maintenance. A network architecture for a particular organization, user, or other entity, may include various networked devices, any of which may be vulnerable to one or more cyberattacks due to outdated software, hardware, and/or firmware configurations. Embodiments include apparatuses, computer program products, and methods for retrieving an updated device configurations data object, identifying a vulnerable networked device set based at least in part on the updated device configurations data object and a detected networked device set, and generating a device cyber risk score data object set that may be output and/or otherwise provided to one or more systems, devices, or the like. Some example embodiments further include identifying update recommendation(s), generating device cyber risk priority data object(s), and/or providing various combinations of such data for rendering to one or more displays associated with a user.
