`
`devices.
`
`SUMMARY
`
`[0003]
`
`A system, method, and computer program product are provided for a database
`
`associating a plurality of device vulnerabilities to which computing devices can be subject with a
`
`plurality of remediation techniques that collectively remediate the plurality of device
`
`vulnerabilities. Each of the device vulnerabilities is associated with at least one remediation
`
`technique. Each remediation technique associated with a particular device vulnerability
`
`remediates that particular vulnerability. Further, each remediation technique has a remediation
`
`type are selected from the type group consisting of patch, policy setting, and configuration
`
`option. Still yet, a first one of the device vulnerabilities is associated with at least two alternative
`
`remediation techniques.
