Abstract
A vulnerability tagging process helps prioritize backups of datasets in a network by monitoring events that affect containers in the network. The monitored events are processed by an AI-based event analyzer to characterize each event in terms of a potential for destruction or damage to the data by each event. A vulnerability measure is calculated as the product of the number of occurrences of each event based on the severity associated with each event. Once the events are analyzed and the vulnerability scores are calculated, the scores are tagged on each workload. The vulnerability tags can then be utilized by the backup server to modify protection policies and/or prioritize backup schedules for the container workloads.
