Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that are operable when executed by data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising: by operation of a cryptography usage analysis agent: receiving cryptography usage data obtained by examining network traffic communicated by computing nodes in the computing environment; and
identifying cryptography usage risks within the computing environment based on the cryptography usage data; by operation of a cryptographic risk identification agent, identifying one or more applications associated with the cryptography usage risks, wherein identifying the one or more applications comprises: identifying a subset of the network traffic associated with the cryptography usage risks; extracting communication metadata from the subset of the network traffic; identifying a subset of the computing nodes that communicated the subset of the network traffic; receiving application network connectivity information from the subset of the computing nodes; for each observed communication, a cryptographic risk score is calculated, wherein the computation of the cryptographic risk score is based on security characteristics of the traffic communication and based on comparison with configuration data stored in the cryptography usage analysis agent according to a predetermined criteria, wherein the security characteristics include security strength of a cryptographic algorithm and parameters and known weaknesses of a cryptographic protocol;
updating the cryptography usage risk scores for respective communications according to the updated security characteristics of the communication; identifying the one or more applications based on the application network connectivity information and the communication metadata; and
associating the cryptography usage risks with the one or more identified applications and are reported as a file through a user interface.
