Abstract
Systems and methods to manage software vulnerabilities are described. The system retrieves a snapshot image of a production machine from a database. The snapshot image is associated with a recovery point identifier. The recovery point identifier identifies a first recovery point from multiple recovery points respectively corresponding to a plurality of snapshot images of the production machine. The snapshot image includes a first virtual machine that includes software information. The system processes the software information to identify first patch information associated with a first software module. Finally, the system pushes patch information to the production machine based on the processing of the software information.
