Claim 12:
13. A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations for threat mitigation, the operations comprising:
obtaining first system-defined platform information concerning a first security-relevant subsystem of a plurality of security-relevant subsystems within a computing platform based upon, at least in part, monitored activity of the first security-relevant subsystem with respect to the computing platform;
obtaining at least second system-defined platform information concerning at least a second security-relevant subsystem of the plurality of security-relevant subsystems within the computing platform based upon, at least in part, monitored activity of the second security-relevant subsystem with respect to the computing platform;
combining the first system-defined platform information and the at least second system-defined platform information to form system-defined consolidated platform information, the system-defined consolidated platform information independently defining the security-relevant subsystems that are present within the computing platform;
obtaining client-defined consolidated platform information from a client information source, the client-defined consolidated platform information identifying the security-relevant subsystems that the client believes are present within the computing platform;
comparing the system-defined consolidated platform information and the client-defined consolidated platform information to define differential consolidated platform information that identifies the difference between the independently identified security-relevant subsystems and the security-relevant subsystems believed to be present by the client; and
presenting the differential consolidated platform information of the computing platform to a third-party.
