The Vulnerability Management Process
By taking a proactive approach to managing your network security, you can pinpoint vulnerabilities that may exist and reduce the likelihood of flaws in design or code in the future. Some vulnerability management processes may include the following:
- Checking for vulnerabilities – Our team offers penetration and vulnerability testing to detect possible system vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
- Identifying vulnerabilities – After checking for vulnerabilities, we will review pen test results to find anomalies that may suggest that an attack has occurred or that a malicious event is possible in the future.
- Verifying vulnerabilities – This phase of the process involves verifying that certain vulnerabilities could actually be possible, along with classifying the severity of the vulnerability.
- Mitigating vulnerabilities – To minimize security risks, we figure out ways to prevent discovered vulnerabilities from being exploited before a patch becomes available or in cases where no patch is obtainable.
- Patching vulnerabilities – The final phase of the process involves getting patches and applying them to the affected areas.
Vulnerabilities discovered within systems represent security gaps which could potentially be abused by attackers, resulting in damage to network assets, theft of sensitive data and similar consequences. Attackers are always on the lookout for new vulnerabilities to exploit and no system is completely resistant to these attacks.
