Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for identifying a first and second occurrence in connection with at least one of the networked device. In use, it is possible that it is determined that the at least one actual vulnerability of the at least one networked device is capable of being taken advantage of by the first occurrence identified in connection with the at least one networked device. Further, it is also possible that it is determined that the at least one actual vulnerability of the at least one networked device is not capable of being taken advantage of by the second occurrence identified in connection with the at least one networked device. To this end, the first occurrence and the second occurrence are reported differently.

11. A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising:
-
code for receiving first information associated with a plurality of actual vulnerabilities, the first information being based on second information associated with a plurality of potential vulnerabilities; said first information associated with the plurality of actual vulnerabilities being based on the second information associated with the plurality of potential vulnerabilities, at least in part as a result of a determination that one or more of a plurality of devices is actually vulnerable based on the second information and at least one of an operating system or an application; and code for, based on or in connection with the first information, displaying one or more options for selection by at least one user to selectively utilize one or more different occurrence mitigation actions in connection with one or more of the plurality of actual vulnerabilities, the different occurrence mitigation actions including; a firewall-related occurrence mitigation action that includes sending a firewall update resulting in utilization of a firewall feature for preventing an actual vulnerability addressed by the firewall update from being taken advantage of in response to identification of an occurrence capable of taking advantage of the actual vulnerability addressed by the firewall update, and an intrusion detection or prevention system-related occurrence mitigation action that includes sending an intrusion detection or prevention system update resulting in utilization of an intrusion detection or prevention system feature for preventing an actual vulnerability addressed by the intrusion detection or prevention system update from being taken advantage of in response to identification of an occurrence capable of taking advantage of the actual vulnerability addressed by the intrusion detection or prevention system update. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A system, comprising:
-
an intrusion prevention system component capable of accessing at least one data structure identifying a plurality of mitigation techniques that mitigate effects of attacks that take advantage of vulnerabilities, such that; each mitigation technique is capable of mitigating an effect of an attack that takes advantage of a corresponding vulnerability, each mitigation technique has a mitigation type including at least one of a patch, a policy setting, or a configuration option, at least two of the mitigation techniques are capable of mitigating an effect of an attack that takes advantage of a first one of the vulnerabilities, and said at least two mitigation techniques include a first mitigation technique that utilizes a firewall action for at least mitigating the attack that takes advantage of the first one of the vulnerabilities and a second mitigation technique that utilizes a real-time intrusion prevention action for at least mitigating the attack that takes advantage of the first one of the vulnerabilities; said intrusion prevention system component configured for; causing a display of the at least two mitigation techniques for selection by a user via at least one user interface; receiving a selection of at least one of the at least two mitigation techniques; and automatically applying the selected at least one of the at least two mitigation techniques utilizing a communication between a server and client code supporting the intrusion prevention system component. - View Dependent Claims (30)
