1. A method for securing a deployment, the method comprising:
obtaining data regarding failures of operation of a set of devices within a network of devices;
storing the data within a first device, the data regarding the failures of operation of the set of devices within the network of devices;
generating a network map of the network of devices using the data, the network map comprising pathways and alternate pathways, the alternate pathways comprising a first portion of devices of the set of devices that serve as redundant devices, for a second portion of devices of the set of devices that are members of the pathways, a second portion of devices of the set of devices that have suffered the failures of operation, and the alternate pathways being usable to continue operation of the set of devices while the failures of operation of the set of devices are present; and
adding a correction factor to the redundant devices along the alternate pathways recorded on the network map to cause the redundant devices to mimic behavior of the second portion of devices of the set of devices that have experienced the failures of operation in order to maintain operation by the deployment.
