Abstract
Presented herein are methodologies for implementing a system and apparatus to estimate a network disruption index and undertake a mitigation action accordingly. A method includes calculating a network disruption index based on at least a disruption score associated with a service request measure, an end-of-life measure, a security incident response measure and a return material authorization measure for respective hardware devices in a network, comparing the network disruption index to a predetermined threshold, and when the network disruption index is above the predetermined threshold, identifying one or more of the hardware devices in the network for a mitigation action and implementing the mitigation action.
