Routine, systematic vulnerability scanning and remediation are foundational elements of any security program. After all, most breaches exploit well-known and easily corrected vulnerabilities. As organizations mature their security practices, vulnerability scanning programs also need to evolve. Quarterly or ad hoc scans using “point-and-shoot” scanners -- often followed by a frenzied crash remediation program – should be replaced with monthly, weekly, or more frequent scans supported by continuous remediation. However, without careful planning, such a transition can generate tremendous workload with little security or compliance benefit. This presentation will discuss how enterprise vulnerability management solutions differ from “point-and-shoot” scanners, and the characteristics of these tools that enable continuous scanning and remediation while dramatically reducing the labor investment required.
