Vulnerability Management

A vulnerability assessment is the process of defining, identifying, classifying and prioritizing vulnerabilities in computer systems, applications and network infrastructures and providing the target organization with the necessary knowledge, awareness and risk background to understand the threats to its environment and react appropriately.

Vulnerability management begins with an initial assessment. This assessment begins with an initial authenticated scan of your environment with an industry leading solution to discover known vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are then prioritized based on their severity, and placed into a roadmap of continuous patching and remediation. The goal to vulnerability management is to reach a level of security maturity within an organization where only Low and Informational severity vulnerabilities are identified on fully-authenticated internal scans.

Vulnerability management programs are recommended for organizations that have not obtained a level of security maturity capable of being yet resilient against modern attacks. Digital Integrity® engineers and assessors have an extensive background of maturing vulnerability management programs in multiple public and private sector environments ranging from 50 node environments and extending to Fortune 50 organizations. This is the first step towards limiting an organizations attack surface, and through this process, an organization is able to grow into a more acceptable level of security maturity.
