Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented technology is that it allows administrators to identify and prevent attacks against computer systems from happening through various means such as adding hardware tokens to their computers' memory cards or attaching them to their devices. This helps protect against malware and virus attacks.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is the difficulty of managing complex computer systems due to the lack of efficient and automated methods for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in computer systems. Current security threat management solutions require human input and interpretation, leading to time-consuming processes.

Abstract

A countermeasure for a computer security threat to a computer system is administered by establishing a baseline identification of an operating or application system type and an operating or application system release level for the computer system that is compatible with a Threat Management Vector (TMV). A TMV is then received, including therein a first field that provides identification of at least one operating system type that is affected by a computer security threat, a second field that provides identification of an operating system release level for the operating system type, and a third field that provides identification of a set of possible countermeasures for an operating system type and an operating system release level. Countermeasures that are identified in the TMV are processed if the TMV identifies the operating system type and operating system release level for the computer system as being affected by the computer security threat. The received TMV may be mutated to a format for processing of the countermeasure.
