Threat and Vulnerability Management

Threat and Vulnerability Management involves continuous monitoring and analysis of an organization's systems to detect potential security threats and vulnerabilities. This process includes regular scanning of networks and applications, evaluating the potential impact of identified vulnerabilities, and prioritizing remediation efforts based on risk assessments. By systematically addressing vulnerabilities, TVM helps organizations protect their critical assets, data, and infrastructure from cyber-attacks and breaches. Effective TVM requires collaboration across various teams, including IT, security, and compliance, to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated defense strategy.

Implementing a robust TVM program enhances an organization's ability to respond swiftly to emerging threats and reduce the attack surface. It also involves staying informed about the latest threat intelligence and vulnerability disclosures, which enables timely patching and updating of systems. Organizations may use automated tools and platforms to streamline the identification and management of vulnerabilities, making the process more efficient and scalable. Adopting TVM best practices not only strengthens security but also supports regulatory compliance and risk management initiatives, ultimately contributing to a more resilient security posture.
