Abstract

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for: obtaining consolidated platform information for a computing platform to identify one or more deployed security-relevant subsystems; processing the consolidated platform information to identify one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems; generating a list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems that ranks the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems; and providing the list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems to a third-party.

Claims (48)

1. A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising:

generating, via a Security Information and Event Management system, consolidated platform information from a plurality of security-relevant subsystems within a computing platform, the plurality of security-relevant subsystems including one or more of Content Delivery Network systems, Database Activity Monitoring systems, User Behavior Analytic systems, Mobile Device Management systems, Identity and Access Management systems, and Domain Name Server systems;

obtaining the consolidated platform information for the computing platform to identify one or more deployed security-relevant subsystems;

utilizing artificial intelligence/machine learning to process the consolidated platform information to identify one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems;

generating a list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems that ranks the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems; and

providing the list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems to a third-party.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein generating a list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems that ranks the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems includes:

ranking the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems based upon the anticipated use of the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems within the computing platform.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:

identifying a comparative for at least one of the non-deployed security-relevant subsystems defined within the list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 wherein the comparative includes:

vendor customers in a specific industry comparative.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 wherein the comparative includes:

vendor customers in any industry comparative.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the consolidated platform information is obtained from an independent information source.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the consolidated platform information is obtained from a client information source.

8. A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

generating, via a Security Information and Event Management system, consolidated platform information from a plurality of security-relevant subsystems within a computing platform, the plurality of security-relevant subsystems including one or more of Content Delivery Network systems, Database Activity Monitoring systems, User Behavior Analytic systems, Mobile Device Management systems, Identity and Access Management systems, and Domain Name Server systems;

obtaining the consolidated platform information for the computing platform to identify one or more deployed security-relevant subsystems;

utilizing artificial intelligence/machine learning to process the consolidated platform information to identify one or more non-deployed security-relevant sub systems;

generating a list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems that ranks the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems; and

providing the list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems to a third-party.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein generating a list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems that ranks the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems includes:

ranking the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems based upon the anticipated use of the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems within the computing platform.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 further comprising:

identifying a comparative for at least one of the non-deployed security-relevant subsystems defined within the list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems.

11. The computer program product of claim 10 wherein the comparative includes:

vendor customers in a specific industry comparative.

12. The computer program product of claim 10 wherein the comparative includes:

vendor customers in any industry comparative.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the consolidated platform information is obtained from an independent information source.

14. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the consolidated platform information is obtained from a client information source.

15. A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:

generating, via a Security Information and Event Management system, consolidated platform information from a plurality of security-relevant subsystems within a computing platform, the plurality of security-relevant subsystems including one or more of Content Delivery Network systems, Database Activity Monitoring systems, User Behavior Analytic systems, Mobile Device Management systems, Identity and Access Management systems, and Domain Name Server systems;

obtaining the consolidated platform information for the computing platform to identify one or more deployed security-relevant subsystems;

utilizing artificial intelligence/machine learning to process the consolidated platform information to identify one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems;

generating a list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems that ranks the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems; and

providing the list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems to a third-party.

16. The computing system of claim 15 wherein generating a list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems that ranks the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems includes:

ranking the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems based upon the anticipated use of the one or more non-deployed security-relevant subsystems within the computing platform.

17. The computing system of claim 15 further comprising:

identifying a comparative for at least one of the non-deployed security-relevant subsystems defined within the list of ranked & recommended security-relevant subsystems.

18. The computing system of claim 17 wherein the comparative includes:

vendor customers in a specific industry comparative.

19. The computing system of claim 17 wherein the comparative includes:

vendor customers in any industry comparative.

20. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the consolidated platform information is obtained from an independent information source.

21. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the consolidated platform information is obtained from a client information source.
