Security being a cat and mouse game today, the application security threatscape is constantly evolving, giving rise to organisations' need to be proactive in their threat and vulnerability management efforts.The present-day programs pertaining to security are increasingly ill-adapted to new modes of attack and an accelerating pace of business. Although organisations periodically run network scanning tools, considerable time and effort is spent to discuss the coordinating responses, tracking closures, and results, making the end mitigation slow and partial. At a given instance, there might be a large gap between the number of vulnerabilities reported and their actual closures of vulnerabilities. As a result, both protection and productivity suffer. Finally, after years spent in a comfortable routine, vulnerability management solutions are being forced to improve its performance at ensuring organisational security. The efficiency of vulnerability management depends on the organisation's ability to keep up with current security threats and trends. Although the latest vulnerability management tools or systems provide updates as new threats emerge, organisations still need to engage in research and analysis of threats on a regular basis.Digital transformation trends and initiatives such as cloud migration and enterprise mobility have notably expanded the attack surface at many organisations. This has underscored the need for better vulnerability detection, prevention, and mitigation strategies. Similarly, the adoption of continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), DevOps, and other application development models in recent years has focused attention on integrating vulnerability scanning and remediation much earlier in the software development life cycle.In this edition of Enterprise Security Magazine, we bring to you some of the leading consultancies that have excelled through innovation in delivering the vulnerability management services.
