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.
