The Tech-Speak Explanation:

​

Vulnerability Management is a proactive approach to identifying, assessing, and addressing potential security weaknesses in your IT environment.  

 

It's the continuous process of discovering, prioritizing, and mitigating vulnerabilities to enhance your overall cybersecurity.  It lets you view your environment as a cyber-criminal would.  Allowing you to take action beforehand.

The Non Tech-Speak Explanation:

​

To compare this to something more common, let's imagine we're talking about your house.  This special software sits in your system and acts like a building inspector. 

 

Like an inspector, it will constantly look around and keep you informed of issues.

​

For example, let's say there's a potential problem with your roof - or that dripping kitchen faucet could be something -the broken lock on your window might be a place where a thief could get in. 

 

Once there's a list of concerns, the inspector would prioritize them.

 

It might be suggested you fix the window lock first because of the immediate implications of a break-in.  The roof is important, but there's no issue right now, so the inspector will keep an eye on that one.  The faucet can be dealt with later because it's not a security or safety risk.

​

Vulnerability scanning is the same thing, only for your computers.

​

You will see up-to-the-minute concerns and how to deal with them. 

We'll monitor 24/7/365.

Easy.
