Understanding Vulnerability Management

When an organization gets serious about the security of their environment, I strongly recommend a vulnerability management system as a critical first step. 

Vulnerability management is a system for continually identifying, prioritizing, remediating, and mitigating software vulnerabilities. It is a must when it comes to your computer and network security. 

In the video above, I explain what it means to have an effective vulnerability management system in place and why it is so important. 

Lack of effective vulnerability management is one of the most critical and common findings Raxis uncovers when we perform penetration tests. Without it, companies have no reliable way to make sure that patches are installed and that other security protocols are being followed as a matter of course. 

If you don’t have a vulnerability management system in place, we can certainly help. We’ll look for the same things we know the bad guys do, and we’ll show you how to implement the security practices that will alert your team to suspicious activity and help stop attacks before they start.
