Some think that Vulnerability Management (VM) is just about deploying assessment tools while others think VM is about applying operating system patches. In reality a VM strategy is about something bigger. It's about balance: balancing your detection capability with your capacity to remediate, and balancing your policy and planning with monitoring and follow-up.When all these factors are in sync, you wind up with something greater than the sum of the parts. But build up one at the expense of the others and—just like the person alone on the teeter-totter—you'll be left scratching your head wondering why nothing is happening.
Check out this buyer's guide to vulnerability management to learn how to get started with your VM strategy. Also included is a full product listing of vulnerability management solutions.
