US Patent 11277429 Cybersecurity vulnerability classification and remediation based on network utilization

A technology solution for remediating a cyberattack risk in a computing resource asset in a network system. The technology solution includes monitoring data traffic directed to the computing resource asset in the network system along with data traffic to one or more additional computing resource assets in the network system, generating network utilization data based on the monitored data traffic to the computing resource asset and the monitored data traffic to the one or more additional computing resource assets in the network system, receiving a common vulnerability score (CVSS) for a vulnerability in the computing resource asset, determining a network traffic adjustment (NTA) value for the common vulnerability score (CVSS) based on the network utilization data, adjusting the common vulnerability score (CVSS) by the network traffic adjustment (NTA) value to generate a prioritized common vulnerability score (PCVSS) for the computing resource asset, and remediating the computing resource asset to resolve the vulnerability based on the prioritized common vulnerability (PCVSS) score.
