What is vulnerability management?

Vulnerability Management:

Vulnerability management is a broader process that encompasses not only the assessment of vulnerabilities but also the ongoing process of identifying, mitigating, and monitoring vulnerabilities throughout their lifecycle.

• Detection: Vulnerability management starts with the continuous detection of new vulnerabilities. This involves staying updated with security advisories, vendor patches, and threat intelligence sources.
• Assessment: Vulnerability assessment is conducted to evaluate the impact and severity of identified vulnerabilities. This step includes scanning systems, networks, and applications for known vulnerabilities.
• Prioritization: Similar to vulnerability assessment, vulnerabilities are prioritized based on their severity and potential impact on the organization’s assets and operations.
• Remediation: Once vulnerabilities are identified and prioritized, organizations take steps to remediate or mitigate them. This may involve applying patches, implementing configuration changes, or deploying compensating controls to reduce risk.
• Monitoring and Continuous Improvement: Vulnerability management is an ongoing process that requires continuous monitoring of systems and networks for new vulnerabilities. It also involves evaluating the effectiveness of remediation efforts and making adjustments to the vulnerability management program as needed.
• Compliance and Reporting: Vulnerability management includes ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards, as well as providing regular reports to stakeholders on the status of vulnerabilities and the effectiveness of mitigation efforts.
