Vulnerability Management The Achilles Heel of Cyber Risk

The Need for Improvements in Efficiency, Accuracy & Reporting

Too many companies have multiple, and different scanning feeds without a consolidated single view of results. They manually aggregate data which is slow and manage data on spreadsheets which is time-consuming.

Prioritization scoring is not consistent across scanners, and isn’t granular, often scoring is only from 1 to 10. There are too many vulns scored as high priority. Scoring does not relate to customer’s own specific context. This makes it difficult to identify the ones that pose the highest risk to your IT environment.

Pain Points for Vulnerability Programs: •   Constant pressure to fix more vulnerabilities •   Reporting is difficult for remediation, internal teams and management •   Cannot provide real-time, accurate risk profile.

Many companies are looking for improvements in efficiency, accuracy & reporting. They want an efficient and fast way to correlate vuln data from multiple sources. Because of the correlation between a company’s risk posture and its stock valuation more CEO's, CIO's and even Board Members now want access to clear reports/dashboards/risk meters that in one pane of glass communicate their risk posture.

Looking for Improvements in Efficiency, Accuracy & Reporting: Companies Seek •   A dynamic risk profile, including instant assessment of exposure to new exploits •   Objective, unified risk scoring to improve collaboration across security and DevOps •   Real time visibility into risk posture to help align security with business goals •   Metrics to measure effectiveness of risk reduction efforts, and trend analysis •   Integration with existing workflows and ticketing systems •   Capability to remediate high risk vulns before they become a threat, and ignore those that will never present a threat  • Immediate assessment of exposure to vulnerabilities, when other organizations are breached.

New data breaches are reported on almost a daily basis. Some of the world’s most iconic logos have suffered the loss of prestige, trust and stock valuation because an inefficient and lax vulnerability management program. To avoid this pitfall, adding continuous monitoring and real-time visibility into risk is a no-brainer.
