Abstract
In an embodiment, a security auditing component obtains a solution set that is based upon a security audit of an enterprise network, the solution set characterizing a set of solutions associated with a set of security issues associated with one or more assets of the enterprise network, detects that the solution set can be condensed into a condensed solution set that mitigates the set of security issues to the same degree as the solution set, the detection being based at least in part upon (i) one or more rules applied to one or more solution texts and/or (ii) asset-specific metadata and/or (iii) static metadata, and condenses, based on the detecting, the solution set into the condensed solution set by combining two or more subsets of related solutions and/or filtering the solution set to remove one or more subsets of redundant or superseded solutions.
