ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides systems and methods for risk detection and analysis in a computer network. Computerized, automated systems and methods can be provided. Raw vulnerability information and network information can be utilized in determining actual vulnerability information associated with network nodes. Methods are provided in which computer networks are modeled, and the models utilized in performing attack simulations and determining risks associated with vulnerabilities. Risks can be evaluated and prioritized, and fix information can be provided.
