Vulnerability Management

Vulnerability Management is an ongoing process in which businesses, organizations, and various entities continuously identify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities in an effort to mitigate the overall risk faced across the groups attack surface. When done correctly, vulnerability management will minimize the possibility of a successful attack and allows the IT team to have a clear view of the systems, software, prioritizations, and policies in place that are being constantly monitored by automated processes alongside manual ones as well. Some examples of the tools, software, and processes used during vulnerability management include:
