Vulnerability management is a continuous process that helps protect computer systems, networks, and applications from cyberattacks and data breaches. It involves identifying, evaluating, prioritizing, and fixing security weaknesses in software and systems:
Vulnerability management is a vital part of an organization's security program. It helps to: Prevent attacks, Minimize damage if an attack occurs, Reduce the organization's overall risk exposure, Prioritize possible threats, and Minimize the organization's "attack surface.
Vulnerability management is a cyclical process that needs to be performed continuously to keep up with new threats and changing environments. Security teams typically use vulnerability scanner software to automate this process.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework outlines five core functions to manage cybersecurity risks: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
