Abstract
A system is provided for remediation of security vulnerabilities in computing devices using continuous device-level scanning and monitoring. In particular, the system may perform a deep scan of the hardware and software elements of a computing device and/or application and compile the information from the deep scan into a hardware metadata list and a software metadata list associated with the computing device and/or application. The system may then, through a machine learning-based process, continuously scan the elements within the hardware metadata list and the software metadata list to identify the elements that are not involved in the operation of the computing device and/or application. The system may flag such elements for inspection to evaluate the safety of the elements and subsequently execute one or more remediation processes in response to detecting an unsafe element.
