In this case, teams might need to put in a mitigating control, such as a firewall or routing change, to prevent certain types of traffic from getting to a port or application. In fact, sometimes mitigating controls work better than patches. The bottom line is this: to think solely in terms of patching is short-sighted. Taking a broader view of vulnerability management will serve organizations better. Myth 3: Fixing critical vulnerabilities ensures safety The view that organizations have to fix Level 5 vulnerabilities first is outdated. Conventional logic goes that the most serious vulnerabilities demand immediate attention. The problem is that cybercriminals are aware of this mentality. As a result, they've begun attacking lower hanging fruit in middle-layer vulnerabilities. These are not as attention grabbing; they don't have people playing beat-the-clock to remediate them, which gives hackers longer to figure out a way in, and they can ultimately cause tremendous damage as they go undetected for long periods of time.
It may not be the sexiest task IT teams deal with but vulnerability management very well could be the biggest factor in preventing a serious malicious attack.
Nucleus integrates with 70+ tools to orchestrate and automate vulnerability management workflows in any environment. We're continuously adding new tools based on customer requests, and maintain an open GitHub project for customer contributions. Nucleus is an enterprise application that scales to support any sized organization and remains lightning-fast regardless of the number of tools in use, concurrent users, or amount of vulnerability data imported. Nucleus integrates with your single sign-on provider and lets you map your existing roles to Nucleus roles, minimizing the administrative overhead of enterprise user and role management. Nucleus has built in reports for roles ranging from executive to technician, and they can be automatically emailed to anyone who needs them, at any frequency needed. Nucleus supports over 10 different vulnerability statuses ranging from false-positive to risk-accepted. Vulnerability status is remembered from scan to scan, and tracked over time to provide a complete history of each vulnerability from discovery to remediation.
