Vulnerability and Patch Management
Vulnerability management by definition is the “cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities”. The common misconception here is that the vulnerabilities organisations should be finding are only in software and firmware when organisations begin exploring vulnerability management. There are a number of other considerations for organisations to make and investigate;
- Insecure configurations
- Potential or existing malware infections on the network
- Unknown devices coming on and off the corporate network
