Nicholson De Vos Webster & Elliott LLP
Device and method for remediating vulnerabilities
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive data describing a first software component used by a software product and vulnerability data describing a vulnerability in the first software component. A vulnerability score is calculated for the software product based upon the vulnerability data for the first software component. The vulnerability score is recalculated for the software product based upon receiving an updated status of the vulnerability in the first software component from bug tracking software, a waiver of the vulnerability of a software component, the addition of another software component, or another update to the software product or component(s). The task of remediation of the vulnerability in the first software component can be assigned to a user and tracked. A user interface is provided to enable users to monitor the vulnerabilities of software products or components.
