Scanning: Using automated tools to scan systems, networks, and applications for known vulnerabilities. Common tools include Nessus, Ǫualys, and OpenVAS.
Threat Intelligence: Staying updated on emerging vulnerabilities and threats through threat intelligence feeds and security advisories.
Manual Assessment: Conducting manual reviews and penetration testing to uncover vulnerabilities that automated tools might miss.
Risk Evaluation: Assessing the severity of identified vulnerabilities based on factors such as CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) scores, exploitability, and potential impact. Asset Classification: Categorizing assets based on their criticality and the potential impact of a vulnerability exploitation.
Impact Analysis: Evaluating which vulnerabilities pose the highest risk to your organization’s critical assets and operations. Exploitability: Considering factors such as the ease of exploitation and whether an exploit exists in the wild. Business Context: Aligning vulnerability prioritization with business objectives and regulatory requirements.
Patch Management: Applying patches and updates to fix vulnerabilities in software and systems. Configuration Changes: Adjusting system and application configurations to address security weaknesses. Compensating Controls: Implementing alternative security measures if Immediate remediation is not feasible (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection systems).
Re-Scanning: Re-scanning systems after remediation to ensure that vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed. Testing: Conducting additional testing to verify that fixes do not introduce new issues or disrupt normal operations.
Tracking: Maintaining records of identified vulnerabilities, remediation efforts, and verification results. Reporting:Providing regular reports to stakeholders that summarize vulnerability status, trends, and risk mitigation efforts.
Ongoing Scanning: Regularly scanning systems and applications to identify new vulnerabilities as they emerge. Alerting:Setting up alerts for new vulnerabilities and emerging threats to stay proactive.
Staff Training: Educating IT and security teams about vulnerability management practices and tools. Awareness Programs:Running awareness programs to keep employees informed about security best practices and potential threats.
