Especially, the danger that a vulnerability might pose if it is being exploited by a hacker to affect system confidentiality, integrity, or availability. But there is a typical predicament that is snowballing into one of the biggest headaches for the IT companies. The nature of attacks is persistently and rapidly changing, so preparing an adequate defence is like chasing smoke. Meanwhile, companies also struggle to take care of their most vulnerable area, the endpoint. As a result, they can’t take full advantage of many of the features in their security software. Though very different problems, both lead the companies to acknowledge that because of attacks’ ever-changing nature and the difficulty that they face to maintain the endpoints at all times, the IT environment remain exposed on any given day.As the number of threats has increased exponentially, bad actors can even leverage the same small set of vulnerabilities to exploit the confidential data and cripple an organization’s system. Adding to the vulnerability management challenge, threat actors have accelerated the time it takes to exploit vulnerabilities. A recent report stated that average time it takes between identifying a vulnerability and the appearance of an exploit in the wild has dropped by 66 percent—from 45 days to 15 days over the last decade.Ensuring that vulnerabilities are addressed quickly and efficiently is crucial. The numerous vulnerabilities that are discovered every day can interfere with the proactive process of keeping enterprise systems patched and updated. Vulnerabilities are not the only issues with vulnerability management. Poor change management practices, rogue servers and blurred network boundaries also cause issues with practicing true vulnerability management.This edition is aimed at injecting readers with insights from industry leaders and key disruptors to bring out a comprehensive picture of the vulnerability management arena and the recent developments in this field.Let us know your thoughts.Vulnerability Management: The Steep Road AheadEditorialRussell Thomas Managing Editor editor@enterprisesecuritymag.comMARCH - 16 - 2020, Volume 06 - 04 Published by ValleyMedia, Inc.
