Abstract
The present invention comprises a graphical user interface for managing vulnerability life cycle of a computer network of an organizational entity. The graphical user interface includes a multilevel tree structure including a plurality of nodes. Each node of the plurality of nodes is uniquely associated with a designated unit within the organizational entity. The graphical user interface further includes at least one user icon connected to at least one of the nodes wherein the at least one user icon is associated with a particular individual. At least one group icon is connected to at least one of the nodes wherein the group icon is associated with a plurality of individuals. Each of the plurality of nodes, the at least one user icon and the at least one group icon are dynamically modifiable according to a structure of the organizational entity.
