Abstract
Systems and methods for measuring the risk level of a device are provided. Vulnerability-related metrics of a plurality of applications hosted by a user device are collected by a process of the user device. Based on the vulnerability-related metrics of the plurality of applications hosted by the user device, a risk level of the user device is determined. Responsive to determining that the risk level satisfies a criterion, a security-based action associated with the user device is performed.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- collecting, by a processor of a user device of a user, vulnerability-related metrics of a plurality of applications hosted by the user device;
- determining, by the processor of the user device and based on the vulnerability-related metrics of the plurality of applications hosted by the user device, a risk level of the user device;
- and
- responsive to determining that the risk level satisfies a criterion, performing, by the processor of the user device, a security-based action associated with the user device.
A system comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the memory device, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- collecting vulnerability-related metrics of a plurality of applications hosted by a user device of a user;
- determining, based on the vulnerability-related metrics of the plurality of applications hosted by the user device, a risk level of the user device;
- and
- responsive to determining that the risk level satisfies a criterion, performing a security-based action associated with the user device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions for a server that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- collecting vulnerability-related metrics of a plurality of applications hosted by a user device of a user;
- determining, based on the vulnerability-related metrics of the plurality of applications hosted by the user device, a risk level of the user device;
- and
- responsive to determining that the risk level satisfies a criterion, performing a security-based action associated with the user device.
