Vulnerability management can be defined as “the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities.”1 Organizations use vulnerability management to preemptively defend against the exploitation of vulnerabilities in company applications, software, and networks. Organizations that can effectively implement vulnerability management will be significantly safer from data breaches and theft.
To stay secure from hacking attacks, Every Enterprise need to have an ideal Vulnerability Audit strategy.
This process can be viewed in five key steps:
1. Outline vulnerability management policy.
2. Discover existing vulnerabilities.
3. Analyze current level of security and rank vulnerabilities by threat level/remediation actions required.
4. Mitigate the causes of vulnerabilities.
5. Maintain security through ongoing testing and discovery.
The number of servers, desktops, laptops, phones and personal devices accessing network data is constantly growing. The number of applications in use grows nearly exponentially. And as known vulnerabilities grew in number, IT managers found that traditional Vulnerability Management Solutions could easily find more problems that could be fixed.
One solution has been to concentrate on building better walls around the network to keep attackers from accessing the weaknesses. Vulnerabilities are addressed when and if there are resources available. Other solutions are to scan just the most important network resources, or to prioritize the vulnerabilities so that limited resources could be applied to fixing just those that were most likely to be misused.
None of these solutions are working very well. Even random and unfocused attackers are routinely bypassing antivirus, firewall and IPS to find and exploit the vulnerabilities on secondary systems or that were left unrepaired because they weren’t high risk.
The vast majority of successful attacks are on the most well known, serious, easily discovered and easily exploited vulnerabilities. Most attackers study up on a specific vulnerability then search broadly for any network that has that weakness and then they exploit it to gain access. From that beachhead they expand their control through the network and then look for the valuable data they can steal without being discovered.
