Vulnerability Management

Vulnerability management process steps can be automated with technology from four main vendor categories that constitute the vulnerability management space. Consider broad-scope vendors when you desire an integrated product suite.

Vulnerability assessment (VA) provides baseline and discovery functions in support of vulnerability management. VA products scan an endpoint and attempt to determine vulnerable conditions based on a database of known vulnerabilities. VA products can also determine many other aspects of the endpoint, including open ports, running services and protocols, applications, and operating system. This information provides security groups with the data they need to measure security postures. When your security group documents the weakness of the network and host infrastructure, you can begin to make decisions on how to eliminate the root cause of the majority of exploits, reduce the potential attack vectors and limit the impact of a security incident.
