What is Vulnerability Management?
An integral part of comprehensive information and network security, Vulnerability Management is the on-going practice of identifying, classifying, prioritising, remediating, and mitigating software vulnerabilities.
When correclty implemented alongside with other security tactics, Vulnerability Management is vital for organisations to prioritise possible threats and minimising their attack surface.
Every change in your operating environment comes with the risk that a new entry point has been opened in your network, allowing attackers to slip in and walk out with your most sensitive information. Protecting your organisation from these threats requires a tailored Vulnerability Management solution that can keep up with and adapt to all of these changes. Without proactive security monitoring, the attackers will always be one step ahead.
- A new security vulnerability is identified every 36 seconds — that's over 2,000 new known vulerabilities in the wild every day!
- It takes 15 days on average for a new vulnerability to be exploited.
- It takes an average of 100 days for known security vulnerabilities to be remediated.
- Approximately 15% of organisational assets contain critical or high-risk vulnerabilities.
