What is Vulnerability Management?
Vulnerability management is a cyclical process aimed at identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities in computer systems and software. It begins with vulnerability scanning to discover potential weaknesses. Assessment then involves analyzing these vulnerabilities to determine their impact and likelihood of exploitation. Prioritization ranks vulnerabilities based on risk to focus remediation efforts. Remediation involves implementing solutions such as patching, configuration changes, or mitigation strategies to address the identified weaknesses. Finally, ongoing monitoring and reporting tracks the effectiveness of remediation efforts and identifies new vulnerabilities as they emerge.
