Modern vulnerability management programs require a strategy that defines what success means for your organization's cybersecurity goals.

With the changing work norms ushered in by the pandemic, endpoints have become an easy exploit target, and your vulnerability management program should give equal importance to managing both network and endpoint vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability scanning is the foremost step in your vulnerability management process.

Slow vulnerability scanners create a lag, slow business processes, and act as a major pitfall for any vulnerability management program.

As a result, vulnerability databases play a vital role in the vulnerability management program, and the quality of the vulnerability database determines the accuracy of your vulnerability assessment data.

Your vulnerability management program should be equipped with an integrated patch management tool to remediate vulnerabilities on time, and the patching process safeguards networks from an array of potential attacks.
