Welcome
Of the tens of millions of vulnerabilities that almost certainly exist within your IT environment, just 5% are likely to emerge as a threat. While this relatively low percentage may sound promising, it also presents a challenge.
How can you tell which vulnerabilities will be weaponized? And more crucially, which pose the biggest risks to your particular business?
Answering these questions is the role of risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) solutions. Market-leading RBVM solutions synthesize vulnerability and exploit information from multiple sources, and then use advanced machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities present the greatest risk to your environment. This ability to prioritize risk helps busy IT security teams focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most – while giving IT operations personnel clear insights like risk scores and action plans they can understand and work with.
Vulnerabilities and exploits will only proliferate in the future; that much is certain. With so much at stake, IT security teams can no longer afford to base their vulnerability management strategies on simple scan results or basic scores that don’t reflect an organization’s unique risk profile. Only by taking a risk-centric approach can security teams mitigate vulnerabilities efficiently and effectively – and with the confidence that they’re always addressing what matters most.
