Abstract

Network entities of a network system are managed in an end-of-life context. A network system is scanned to determine network entities such as hardware devices and/or software applications. A network entity can be identified as vulnerable based on end-of-life data. A risk score for the vulnerable network entity is computed based on the end-of-life data and optionally other factors, and a potentially mitigating action is determined based on the risk score.
