Abstract
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media are disclosed for detecting, identifying, and/or assessing hidden vulnerabilities in an enterprise network. In one example, a device may have one or more memories storing computer-readable instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to receive vulnerability data of network components within an enterprise network. The vulnerability data can include identification of one or more vulnerabilities detected within the enterprise network. The device can then determine a vulnerability frequency and a machine frequency associated with each of the one or more vulnerabilities. The device can then determine a vulnerability score for each of the one or more vulnerabilities based on the vulnerability frequency and an inverse of the machine frequency, to yield a plurality of vulnerability scores. The device can then rank the one or more vulnerabilities based on the plurality of vulnerability scores.
