System and method for repairing vulnerabilities of objects connected to a data network

A system for repairing vulnerabilities of objects connected to a data network, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor configured to:
• transmit a request throughout the data network;
• obtain responses from a plurality of accessible objects in the data network;
• determine whether access to the plurality of accessible objects is available using a plurality of access methods;
• when access to an object is available, access the object and obtain a list of resources of the accessed object;
• crawl through an administrative console of the object to determine a list of resources of the object and open ports of the object, each resource comprising an adjustable parameter and/or an attribute of the object;
• compare the list of resources and the open ports with a database of resources with associated network vulnerabilities to identify one or more resources from the list of resources that have a similar vulnerable status as a vulnerable resource in the database of resources with associated network vulnerabilities;
• identifying one or more repair actions from the database of resources with associated network vulnerabilities based on the identified one or more resources;
• and
• repair the network vulnerabilities associated with the accessed object by applying the one or more repair actions associated with the vulnerable resource to the accessed object.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions therein for repairing vulnerabilities of objects connected to a data network, the instructions comprising:

• transmitting a request throughout the data network;
• obtaining responses from a plurality of accessible objects in the data network;
• determining whether access to the plurality of accessible objects is available using a plurality of access methods;
• when access to an object is available, accessing the object and obtaining a list of resources of the accessed object;
• crawling through an administrative console of the object to determine a list of resources of the object and open ports of the object, each resource comprising an adjustable parameter and/or an attribute of the object;
• comparing the list of resources and the open ports with a database of resources with associated network vulnerabilities to identify one or more resources from the list of resources that have a similar vulnerable status as a vulnerable resource in the database of resources with associated network vulnerabilities;
• identifying one or more repair actions from the database of resources with associated network vulnerabilities based on the identified one or more resources;
• and
• repairing vulnerabilities associated with the accessed object by applying the one or more repair actions associated with the vulnerable resource to the accessed object.
