Question 1

What is vulnerability management?

Accepted Answer

Vulnerability management can be defined as the continuous process of identifying, analyzing, prioritizing and remediating weak points in your organization’s cybersecurity. Vulnerabilities are classified as any potential exposure or risk to an organization that could need mitigation or corrective action to remediate. The best approach to vulnerability management is to be as proactive as possible—hunting for possible threats, patching potential weak points before they become exploited and staying on top of updates that provide risk to the organization.

Question 2

Why do I need vulnerability management services?

Accepted Answer

Continuous vulnerability management is vital to the health and longevity of any business. As technology gets more advanced and complicated, more and more vulnerabilities are opened that threat actors could exploit — and these open weaknesses can change daily. Vulnerability patching has become a top concern for many businesses as one in three breaches can be traced back to an unpatched vulnerability. Network, server and endpoint vulnerabilities need to be monitored at all times in order to prevent breaches from damaging your organization financially and from harming the trust your customers have in your business.

Question 3

How does vulnerability management work?

Accepted Answer

Vulnerability programs: 1) identify vulnerabilities proactively, 2) analyze and evaluate the vulnerabilities to identify cause/issue, 3) prioritize the vulnerability with active threat intelligence to help decide when a vulnerability should be remediated or mitigated actions should be put in place, and 4) prepare to report remediation or mitigation activity around your business vulnerability posture. Vulnerability management teams analyze your current system and access points to determine  A) if a possible patchable vulnerability exists and B) if not, how a defense can be put in place to prevent an attack from succeeding. This process is never-ending and is done through adjusting group policy settings, updating and patching vulnerabilities and evaluating changes in the cybersecurity landscape.
