While Meltdown is specific to Intel chips, Spectre extends to the chips manufactured by Intel, AMD, as well as ARM. Experts believe these vulnerabilities provide an easy mechanism for hackers to exploit modern operation systems to gain access to critical data, such as encryption keys and user credentials. The damage is comprehensive--even virtual machines working in the cloud environment aren't immune to this security challenge. This news comes at a time when reports about growing instances of stealth attacks are making rounds. With several billions of lines of source code being generated every year, chances of vulnerabilities sneaking into the infrastructure are at a record high. Adding to the woes, modern technology infrastructure, spurred by IoT, cloud, containerization, microservices, artificial intelligence, and blockchain is witnessing constant change, which makes vulnerability management, a moving target. Against this backdrop, IT decision makers are under tremendous pressure to ensure their IT assets and data, including user credentials, steer clear of harm's way and meet the necessary compliance mandates. However, there are cutting edge vulnerability management solutions, available as on premise, cloud-based, or managed services, that are empowering organizations to protect their crown jewels. Employing high performance persistent and automated scanning through robust penetration testing and black hat-style threat hunting strategies, these solutions ensure ongoing discovery of risks. Results-driven analytics and reporting that provide relevant and actionable data to key stakeholders help companies in effective remediation of the security challenges across the infrastructure, encompassing network, web, mobile, and cloud. In this edition, we have taken a deep look into the vulnerability management solutions expanse and shortlisted companies that exhibit the expertise and strong commitment to tackling security loopholes and safeguarding clients' IT assets including data and user credentials, helping them to reduce the security burden and focus on business growth.Prioritizing Cyber Threat HuntingEditorialMichael Brown Managing Editor michael@enterprisesecuritymag.com*Some of the Insights are based on the interviews with respective CIOs and CXOs to our editorial staffEmail:sales@enterprisesecuritymag.comeditor@enterprisesecuritymag.commarketing@enterprisesecuritymag.comContact Us:Phone:510-402-1463Fax:510-894-8405
