| | May - 2020ENTERPRISE SECURITY6As the current cybersecurity threat landscape is uniformly evolving, organizations need to be proactive in their threat and vulnerability management efforts. The efficiency of vulnerability management depends on the organization's ability to keep up with current security threats and trends. Recent security attacks have increased the need for a robust cybersecurity management system, which is centred around a tough policy and applies many technologies to achieve defence in depth.Coupled with rapid growth in the number of cyber attacks, the demand for strict acquiescence and security packages to protect confidential data across different verticals, such as government, banking, retail, manufacturing, among others is increasing and is expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. What makes it worse is the fact that many organizations do not have an effective vulnerability management program in place, often leaving themselves exposed to existing and emerging risks and threats. It is not uncommon for an organization to develop their networks without taking into account the vast array of external and internal threats that exist today. Another layer of complexity that some organizations are faced with is the pre-existence of legacy applications and systems, which were not originally designed with security in mind. Additionally, the issue of scale can also cause problems for some organizations. Where organizations are large in size or located over multiple geographical locations, the question of "Where do I start?" comes into play.Based on these factors it is imperative that organizations apply a commensurate level of security controls / protection to data and systems, based on their classification level and importance to the overall business model. Vulnerability and remediation management forms one layer of the multilayer approach required to operate securely in today's environment.This edition is aimed to enable an organization gain an understanding of their threat profile, and subsequently implement a functional effective vulnerability and remediation management system effectively.Let us know your thoughts.Vulnerability and Remediation in Today's IT EnvironmentEditorialRussell Thomas Managing Editor russell@enterprisesecuritymag.comMAY - 13 - 2020, Volume 06 - 07 Published by ValleyMedia, Inc.
