Vulnerability management is the proactive process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating security weaknesses to prevent potential breaches and data compromises.
Vulnerability management identifies, assesses, prioritises, and mitigates security vulnerabilities in a computer network or system. By implementing effective vulnerability management practices, organisations can strengthen their security posture and reduce the risk of cyber threats.
This proactive approach helps businesses prevent potential security breaches and data compromises by systematically addressing weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. Vulnerability management involves vulnerability scanning to identify potential weaknesses, risk assessment to evaluate the severity and impact of vulnerabilities, and remediation to address and resolve identified issues.
Vulnerability management helps businesses improve their stance on cyber security by systematically identifying and addressing potential weaknesses in computer networks and systems.
By proactively identifying vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors, organiSations can strengthen their defences and reduce the likelihood of successful cyber attacks. This proactive approach helps to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, mitigating the risk of data breaches and unauthorised access to sensitive information.
VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT
Serves to reduce organisational exposure and harden the endpoint surface area. The process of identifying, evaluating, treating, and reporting on security vulnerabilities in systems.
VULNERABILITY SCANS
Lists all systems found in an environment and highlights any Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) that may need attention.
VULNERABILITY REPORTS
Provide risk ratings and scores to help prioritise which vulnerabilities organisations should focus on first.
Vulnerability management involves the ongoing tasks of identifying, assessing, addressing, and reporting vulnerabilities. Conversely, assessment refers to evaluating the risk associated with each vulnerability to determine its potential impact.
There are typically five main stages in the vulnerability management cycle. These include: Assess, Prioritise, Act, Reassess, Improve.
The objective of vulnerability management is to diminish the organisation’s total risk exposure by mitigating as many vulnerabilities as feasible. Through the process of identifying, evaluating, and resolving potential security vulnerabilities, organisations can proactively thwart attacks and limit the impact in case of an incident.
