Abstract
The vulnerability of network devices may be predicted by performing a survival analysis on big data. A prediction algorithm may be built by considering historical data from heterogeneous data sources. The operating state of the network devices on a network may be predicted. The services potentially affected by a predicted outage may be determined and displayed. Alternatively or in addition, the number of clients potentially affected by a predicted outage may be determined and displayed.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- detect an outage of a network device;
- determining the outage of the network device is an actual outage based on an indication that a human confirmed the outage of the network device was an actual outage;
- predict a vulnerability of the network device based on a survival analysis;
- and
- cause the vulnerability of the network device to be displayed.
A system comprising:
- an adapter configured to detect an outage of a network device, where the adapter is configured to determine the outage of the network device is an actual outage based on an indication that a human confirmed the outage of the network device was an actual outage;
- a prediction engine configured to predict a vulnerability of the network device based on a survival analysis;
- and
- a graphical user interface framework configured to cause the vulnerability of the network device to be displayed.
