VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT

WHAT IS VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT?

Vulnerability management allows organisations to get crystal clear insight into their assets and vulnerabilities. Through this information, businesses are able to analyse, prioritise and address the most pressing risks to their systems and networks. Vulnerability Management is more than just knowing what your risks are and where your vulnerabilities lay. Additionally, it is about having the expert resources to do something about it. 

THE REALITY OF VULNERABILITIES 

In an ideal situation, all vulnerabilities can be rectified as soon as they are detected. However, the limitations of the real world make this approach unattainable in many instances. For instance, these limitations include:

• Cost – upgrading endpoint devices or servers to a new platform can be quite expensive
• Downtime – large scale upgrade can be disruptive to resources and operations 
• Compatibility – specialist applications may struggle to work on upgraded operating systems 

As a result of these limitations, astute businesses must make calculated and intelligent decisions based on priorities in addressing the most pressing vulnerabilities without hampering operations and resources.
