Let's look at and debunk the top vulnerability management myths, so that enterprises may opt to change their practices in ways that make fortifying cyber defenses and reducing risks significantly easier.

New vulnerability management solutions make scanning at scale significantly faster and easier without impacting network performance, so there is really no good reason why enterprises should put networks at risk unnecessarily.

Taking a broader view of vulnerability management will serve organizations better.

They either need to adopt new considerations and ranking systems for how they address vulnerabilities or they should opt for a two-pronged strategy, leveraging automated vulnerability management solutions to immediately remediate lower level vulnerabilities while freeing up team members to fix higher level vulnerabilities simultaneously.

Whether it is from teams that adopt a certain arrogance about their abilities - a "My guys can fix anything manually" attitude - or those that operate under the assumption that vulnerability management is a low priority background task, the result is the same: vulnerability management has taken a back seat.
