Vulnerability Management |

Vulnerability Management

A vulnerability is a weakness that increases the likelihood of a security incident occurring if exploited. Something simple as broken links in a fence can sometimes be chained together to allow catastrophic consequences.

Proactive management of vulnerabilities through remediation, mitigations or as a last resort risk acceptance, enables risks to be known and reduces the likelihood of a security incident occurring, ensuring you keep your organisation and your customer’s data safe.

Gain visibility of the weaknesses in your environment.

Risk-Based Approach

Trying to create software and hardware that has no bugs or weaknesses in it at all is a difficult ask - invariably due to third-party dependencies, time pressures, or a lack of clarity of requirements, it is inevitable that things will be built in such a way that introduces security risks, that can be abused by an attacker in ways that haven’t been thought of.

These vulnerabilities need to be prioritised considering the organisation’s context, what mitigations are in place and the wider threat landscape, to enable focussed efforts on the areas that would have the biggest impact on reducing risk to the organisation or those that are actively being exploited in the wild.

Monitor Your Attack Surface

Performing automated reconnaisance like an attacker would, can help you find systems that may have been deployed externally, or to identify shadow IT by third party vendors that you may have not been aware of.

You can also find accidental configuration changes that have caused controls to be rendered ineffective, leaving your organisation and customer data at risk. This can help pinpoint vulnerabilities early on before an attacker has a chance to exploit them.

Continuous Rather Than Periodic

With new vulnerabilities found on a daily basis, waiting for periodic scans are not enough to maintain a good security posture. Organisational cultures need to shift from doing security tasks once per month to ongoing immediate identification.

Continuous scanning of networks, applications, and endpoints is required to detect new vulnerabilities created in real-time, as well as new ways of streamlining patch management processes to automate updates and fixes, reducing manual workload and improving response times for triage and remediation.
