Vulnerability Management

So you’ve conducted a vulnerability assessment and now have a bunch of vulnerabilities to contend with. Maybe you’ve performed more than a cursory review to weed out false positives. Perhaps you’ve even rolled out a few patches to close some critical and high-rated vulnerabilities.

But now what?

Vulnerabilities are critical to the risk management process. They reveal the effectiveness of your security measures, identify security deficiencies and confirm the efficacy of remedial measures after implementation. So your vulnerability management needs to be in check in order to shine at risk management. Regular vulnerability assessments must be institutionalized. Staffers need to be trained. And remedial measures, such as poorly performing technologies and tools, may need to be revised.
