Focusing on Vulnerabilities that Pose the Greatest Risk

Cybersecurity experts know that vulnerability management is essential for identifying an organisation’s cyber risks. However, unfortunately, legacy vulnerability management cannot keep up in today’s fluid digital world. This is because over the last 20 years, the attack surface has evolved and behind every major cyberattack is a vulnerability that was left unaddressed.

The number of vulnerabilities is increasing rapidly with the organisation’s increasing assets, therefore gaining comprehensive visibility across the whole of your evolving attack surface is necessary to prioritise fixes.

In this paper, you will learn about:

• How legacy vulnerability management has failed to keep up with an evolving attack surface
• How to seize the opportunity with risk-based vulnerability management
• Solving the vulnerability visibility problem
• Prioritising vulnerabilities
• Measuring and managing risk to business systems
