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 remediation, at least one
action, and at least two vulnerabilities. A method of selecting a
remediation, that is appropriate to a vulnerability which is present on a
machine to be remediated, may include: providing a machine-actionable
memory as mentioned above; and indexing into the memory using: a given
vulnerability identifier to determine (A) at least one of a remediation
mapped thereto and (B) at least one action mapped to the given
vulnerability identifier; and/or a given remediation to determine at
least two vulnerabilities mapped thereto.
