Vulns & more

To predict how hackers might get into your system, vulnerability scanning is one of the easiest methods to employ. However, vulnerability scanning isn’t solely about detecting vulnerabilities in your environment; instead, it is about remediating and changing your processes to ensure that you prioritize and address vulnerabilities once noticed. In this guide, you will learn the basics of vulnerability scanning and scanless vulnerability assessment, how it works, tips to best manage your network vulnerabilities, and the best way you can perform vulnerability scanning.

Patch management is more than just updating and repairing IT software. If a patching process is not handled properly it may lead to system crashes.

Patch management and software patching is an essential component in IT. However, we overestimate its capacity to solve security issues. Most times, there is an assumption that if your IT security team is not keeping up with patching, it’s always going to be their fault when there is a vulnerability in your network. Therefore, let’s explore this process and discuss this model of security patching, challenges of software patching and how these challenges can be tackled.

Patch management is the process of acquiring, testing and installing updates on computers. It is mostly done by organizations as part of their internal efforts to fix issues with the different versions of software programs. Additionally, patch management also helps to evaluate existing software programs and detect any potential lack of security features. Software patches help fix those problems that exist and are noticed only after the software has been released. Patches mostly concern security while there are some patches that concern the specific functionality of programs.

Risk-based vulnerability management ensures that vulnerabilities are ranked for remediation to reflect the level of risk they pose to valuable assets.
