US Patent 11991204 Automatic vulnerability mitigation in cloud environments

A method for implementing a migration action for a vulnerability includes receiving an indication that a target resource includes a vulnerability where the target resource is being hosted in a cloud environment and associated with a user of the cloud environment. The method also includes receiving a plurality of rules configured to mitigate vulnerabilities for cloud environment resources. The method further includes determining whether the plurality of rules include one or more rules corresponding to the vulnerability of the target resource. When the plurality of rules comprises the one or more rules corresponding to the vulnerability of the target resource, the method includes applying a reversible mitigation action associated with a respective rule of the one or more rules corresponding to the vulnerability of the target resource.
