Abstract:
A system for predicting vulnerability of network resources is provided. The system can calculate an initial vulnerability score for each of the network resources and use the initial vulnerability scores along with activity data of the network resources to train a vulnerability model. After training, the vulnerability model can predict the vulnerability of the network resources based on new activity data collected from the network resources. Based on the predicted vulnerability, vulnerable network resources can be identified. Further analysis can be performed by comparing the activities of the vulnerable network resources and other network resources to identify activity patterns unique to the vulnerable network resources as attack patterns. Based on the attack patterns, one or more actions can be taken to increase the security of the vulnerable network resources to avoid further vulnerability.
