Abstract

In one embodiment, software for remediation management is operable to automatically identify an asset in an enterprise network. One or more vulnerabilities of the identified asset is automatically identified based on comparing the identified asset to content associated with the one or more vulnerabilities. At least a portion of the content is collected from a plurality of third party content providers. Other example software for remediation management may be operable to identify one or more vulnerabilities of an asset based on comparing the asset to content associated with the one or more vulnerabilities and automatically generate remediations for the asset based on the content associated with the one or more vulnerabilities.
