Patent ID: 8336103

Claim:
A non-transitory machine-actionable memory comprising: one or more machine-actionable records arranged according to a data structure, the data structure including links that respectively map between at least one R_ID field, the contents of which denote an identification (ID) of a remediation (R_ID); at least one POL_ID field, the contents of which denotes an ID of at least one policy (POL_ID), the at-least-one policy respectively defining a condition violation of which is potentially indicative of unauthorized activity or manipulation of the device; and wherein: each of the at least one POL_ID field is an index to identify at least one R_ID respectively corresponding thereto; and the data structure for at least one of the one-or-more machine-actionable records includes: two or more POL_ID fields, the contents of which denote two or more POL_IDs, respectively; a plurality of ACT_ID fields, the contents of which denote a plurality of ACT_IDs, respectively; two or more SS links relating one or more among the plurality of ACT_ID fields as a subset (SS) thereof, respectively; two or more CE_ID fields, the contents of which denote two or more CE_ID fields; and at least one of the following: at least two P-55 links between the two or more POL ID_fields, respectively, and the two or more subsets, at least two R-P links between the at-least-one R_ID field and the two or more POL_ID fields, respectively, at least two R-SS links between the at-least-one R_ID field and the two or more subsets, respectively, and at least two R-AS links between the at-least-one R_ID field and the two or more CE_ID fields, respectively.
