Abstract:
1. A method for real-time threat monitoring, the method comprising: identifying, by a processing device, two or more real time vulnerabilities, each associated with one or more objects of an enterprise; correlating, by the processing device, the two or more real-time vulnerabilities to each other, thereby resulting in a correlated real-time vulnerability; applying, by the processing device, an exposure tiering model to the correlated real-time vulnerability, thereby classifying the correlated real-time vulnerability into one or more of a plurality of exposure tiers based at least in part on whether the correlated real-time vulnerability is associated with exposure of non-public information and whether the correlated real-time vulnerability is associated with exposure originating external to the enterprise, initiating, by the processing device, an alert based at least in part on the correlated real-time vulnerability and the one or more exposure tiers into which the correlated real-time vulnerability is classified.
