Abstract
In general, the disclosure relates to techniques for identifying a reduced set of remediation actions that are to be performed by a network endpoint to achieve compliance with a security policy defined by a network entity. One example method comprises receiving integrity data via a network from a network endpoint, performing a plurality of tests on the integrity data to generate corresponding test results, identifying a set of remediation actions based upon the test results, and comparing the remediation actions in the set. The method further comprises eliminating at least one remediation action in the set based upon the comparison to form a reduced set of remediation actions, and sending the reduced set of remediation actions to the network endpoint, wherein each remediation action in the reduced set specifies an action to be performed by the network endpoint to achieve compliance with a security policy.
