< prev | next >

Description: Represents a situation in which software patches have been applied manually by HostManager to eliminate vulnerabilities in process Process. This strategy represents activation of a contingency plan at runtime, and can be selected to discover what effect this would have on risk levels, allowing this to be used for decision support calculations. Note that this should only be considered if a suitable software patch is available. To implement this at runtime, signal the responsible user HostManager.
