Vulnerability Scanning and Patch Management
Vulnerability scanning is an essential foundational security control and vital for every organization. Cyber-attacks such as WannaCry and Petya, left many asking the question: How can we stay safely ahead of the next threat?
As new vulnerabilities are discovered, it’s a race against time to derive effective defense strategies.
In most cases, this requires fixes for the software or platform affected, delivered in the form of a patch. In other cases it may require mitigation of the threat via secure configuration settings – see System Hardening and Vulnerability Management.
