After determining the security update and computing security score, the algorithm can prioritize software updates by ranking security scores, as shown in Figure 7.
For this example, the ADSE team randomly picked an XPS 15 7590 device. Out of nine available security updates, three were security updates. A security score allows customers to see the installation order of the recommended, security-specific updates in Figure 7A.
In terms of remediation, if customers authorize vulnerable software fixes, the system can automatically install available security updates through SupportAssist. As shown in Figure 7B, when this option is implemented, the resulting device score is 0.
