Vulnerability Management Is Critical to Managing Enterprise Risk

Overview Vulnerability management is an emerging market that has captured the interest of enterprises concerned with mitigating and managing the threats within their networks. As the vulnerability management market space expands, comprehensive vulnerability management will bring together the assessment and scanning of vulnerabilities within and outside the network perimeter, the remediation of patches to fix software vulnerabilities, and configuration remediation to correct system configurations and policy-related exposures. As vulnerability management systems evolve, they must effectively use people, process and technology initiatives to properly mitigate an organization's risk to potential threats.
