Most organizations have elements of vulnerability management in place. Some make use of security information and event management (SIEM) technology or follow public vulnerability newsgroups and information feeds from their software. However, many find it difficult to keep pace with the constant disclosure of vulnerabilities that are putting their operational systems at risk. Fundamentally, they would benefit from a more controlled and structured approach.
For organizations operating diverse and wide-ranging systems, vulnerability management challenges cannot be solved using ad hoc tools. There needs to be an integrated and inclusive approach that makes use of security intelligence to highlight vulnerabilities and their severity as they occur.

The difference between aware and unaware is just two little letters. However the difference that the reality of these two words actually means to IT security, business operations, revenues, and brand image can be enormous. Not knowing the vulnerability risks that your IT infrastructure face could result in a security breach with serious consequences.
The new Ovum Technology Audit draws further on this issue, stating that "Organizations need to be risk aware. Facing targeted and persistent threats against their business systems, organizations must improve their approach to security and the delivery of security management services. Business systems are regularly breached because of existing vulnerabilities. Therefore, an important part of redressing the balance and keeping organizations safe involves identifying program and application vulnerabilities and addressing them before an attack takes place."
