Patent attributes
Systems and methods are provided for vulnerability proofing the use of an IHS (Information Handling System) in a computing cluster. Notification is received by the IHS of modifications to configurations of a computing cluster that includes the IHS. Vulnerability proofing requirements for computing cluster configurations including the IHS are retrieved from a persistent data storage of the IHS. Based on the vulnerability proofing requirements, catalogs comprising known vulnerabilities of IHS hardware components are accessed. Modifications to the computing cluster configurations are identified as vulnerable in one or more of the catalogs. When modifications to the computing cluster configurations are identified as vulnerable, participation by the IHS in the computing cluster is suspended until the modifications to the computing cluster configurations are changed to include no configurations with vulnerabilities identified in the catalogs.
