Method and apparatus for generating security vulnerability guidelines

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
• process computer readable rule code in a user interface field and simultaneously viewable by way of a user interface including the user interface field, to generate one or more guidelines, the one or more guidelines comprising:
• at least one rule;
• and
• one or more of:
• a hint to correct computer readable application code based on a determination that the computer readable application code is non-compliant with the at least one rule;
• one or more compliance levels based on a degree of non-compliance with the at least one rule or an amount of risk associated with the determination that the computer readable application code is non-compliant with the at least one rule;
• a category of the at least one rule;
• a remediation to correct the computer readable application code based on the determination that the computer readable application code is non-compliant with the at least one rule;
• or
• a message indicative of a training sequence associated with the at least one rule;
• process the computer readable application code to determine whether the computer readable application code is in compliance with the one or more guidelines;
• and
• cause the at least one of the hint, the one or more compliance levels, the remediation or the message to be displayed based on a determination that the computer readable application code is non-compliant with the at least one rule.

A method, comprising:

• causing a first user interface to be displayed, the first user interface including a first user interface field, the first user interface having computer readable application code in the first user interface field;
• causing a second user interface to be displayed, the second user interface comprising one or more second user interface fields configured to receive computer readable rule code describing at least a portion of one or more guidelines, the one or more guidelines comprising:
• at least one rule;
• and
• one or more of:
• a hint to correct computer readable application code based on a determination that the computer readable application code is non-compliant with the at least one rule;
• one or more compliance levels based on a degree of non-compliance with the at least one rule or an amount of risk associated with the determination that the computer readable application code is non-compliant with the at least one rule;
• a category of the at least one rule;
• a remediation to correct the computer readable application code based on the determination that the computer readable application code is non-compliant with the at least one rule;
• or
• a message indicative of a training sequence associated with the at least one rule;
• detecting a context associated with the computer readable application code at a time the second user interface is caused to be displayed;
• causing, by a processor, at least one of:
• at least one of the one or more second user interface fields to be populated with the computer readable rule code based on the context;
• and
• generating at least one of the one or more guidelines based, at least in part, on the computer readable rule code populated into the at least one of the one or more second user interface fields.
