How to achieve risk-based vulnerability management

Data is the foundation on which digital business is built. But protecting that data is more difficult than ever as threats grow in number and sophistication.

Information overload challenges from data and threats can overwhelm cybersecurity professionals, causing many to unwisely skip vulnerability mitigation. Consequently, some organizations are operating at unacceptably high levels of risk.

This guide details the framework of a modern, responsive vulnerability management program, including:

• Risk appetite: both business and technology leaders should understand and agree on acceptable levels of risk
• Establish a strategy to gain visibility into infrastructure to effectively respond to risks that impact operations
• To combat information overload, prioritize mitigation­—which is not always remediation
