Abstract
A system for securing an electronic device may include a processor and a memory. The memory may be communicatively coupled to the processor and include instructions. The instructions, when loaded and executed by the processor, cause the processor to scan data including one or more application components to uniquely identify elements therein, determine from a given application component additional components to be accessed by the given application component, scan the additional components to uniquely identify elements therein, determine whether the additional components include any known vulnerabilities, associate one or more known vulnerabilities of the additional components with the given application component, record the known vulnerabilities and the given application component. The given application component may be uniquely identified.
