Abstract:
A machine-actionable memory comprises one or more machine-actionable records arranged according to a data structure. Such a data structure may include links that respectively map between: a RID field, the contents of which denote an identification (ID) of a remediation (RID); at least one TID field, the contents of which denotes an ID of at least two technologies (TIDs), respectively; and at least one ACTID field, the contents of which denotes an ID of an action (ACTID). A method, of selecting a remediation that is appropriate to a technology present on a machine to be remediated, may include: providing such a machine-actionable memory; and indexing into the memory using a given RID value and a given TID value to determine values of the at-least-one ACTID corresponding to the given RID value and appropriate to the given TID value.
