Abstract:

A security vulnerability analysis mechanism is provided that ingests content from a plurality of content source computing devices to identify instances of security vulnerability content in the ingested content. The mechanism performs a security trend analysis on the instances of security vulnerability content to identify a relative ranking of security vulnerabilities. The mechanism identifies computing resources of a specified computing infrastructure and a criticality of the computing resources to an operation of the computing infrastructure. The mechanism generates a prioritized listing of security vulnerabilities associated with the computing infrastructure based on the relative ranking of security vulnerabilities and the criticality of the computing resources in the computing infrastructure. The mechanism outputs a notification to a user via a user computing device, indicating the prioritized listing of security vulnerabilities.
