Asset Vulnerability Management
Asset Vulnerability Management
What is it?
Asset vulnerability management focuses on identifying, assessing, and mitigating vulnerabilities within an organisation’s digital assets. A comprehensive cybersecurity asset management solution provides organisations with a greater understanding of their vulnerability risk. It involves a systematic approach to discover potential weaknesses in software, hardware, or network infrastructure that could be exploited by cyber threats. Once vulnerabilities are identified, they are typically categorised by severity and prioritised for remediation based on the potential risk they pose. This proactive approach helps organisations strengthen their cyber security posture by mitigating vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors. This reduces the potential for data breaches or system compromises.
Why now?
- The IT and OT convergence has resulted in new demands on CIOs and CISOs, who are now tasked with protecting the entire business ecosystem.
- There has been an explosion of IoT and unmanaged devices on networks, along with challenges of managed devices and the cloud environment.
- Organisations are struggling to have an accurate and detailed inventory of every asset in their environment.
- The working from home movement continues to create more risk to the network environment.
- A greater number of unsanctioned devices can access your network.
- Allows for improved risk posture of all devices, providing you with one source of truth.
- Track 500 million devices daily with device identification and tracking via crowd sourced, and cloud based device behaviour knowledgebase.
- Provides the ability to query and identify specific devices, build reports, and gain insights.
Our four to six week Proof of Value exercise will immediately evidence vulnerabilities in real time allowing you to calculate your ROI using live data from within your own environment. You will be provided with a report of the findings when the PoV is complete.
Use Cases
