From the get-go, too many organizations have an outdated idea of what vulnerability management entails.

A holistic approach to vulnerability management includes identifying, reporting, assessing and prioritizing exposures.

Instead of merely scanning for security gaps, a comprehensive approach to vulnerability management shows you how those gaps could be exploited and the consequences that could occur.

It's then accurate to say that vulnerability management - when executed correctly - takes a big picture approach where all aspects work harmoniously to reduce risk to business-critical assets.

An inability to properly rank exposures is one of the most damaging problems that organizations currently face within the context of vulnerability management.

Smart organizations dedicate plenty of focus to the prioritization and reporting phases of vulnerability management.
