Security expert claims that without vulnerability management software, businesses can face data overload, human error, and time-consuming processes; customers are urged to choose a holistic solution.
Basingstoke,United Kingdom - November 7, 2022 /PressCable/ —
With the cyber threat landscape evolving in impact and complexity, keeping up with the onslaught of new vulnerabilities has become dire for future-focused organisations. The result is that more and more CISOs are now being pushed toward high-end vulnerability management software to gain more control over security weaknesses and holes within their companies.
Rootshell Security, a CREST-accredited cyber security service, helps businesses reduce their attack surface by shedding light on the roadblocks to successful vulnerability management.
Releasing a guide, the company urges security teams to leverage holistic solutions that provide continuous visibility into their on-prem and cloud environments.
Vulnerability management is an end-to-end process of successfully pinpointing, prioritising, and remediating potential security flaws that could expose an organisation’s most critical assets.
Buffer flow, SQL injection, path traversal, cross-site scripting, etc., are a few of the growing list of security flaws that can turn into breaches and set businesses back millions.
According to studies, the average data breach cost has soared to a staggering $4.35 million in 2022, a 2.6% jump from $4.24 million in 2021.
However, due to vulnerability management comprising multiple interdependent aspects, without high-end software in action, vulnerability remediation can be restrained by outdated techniques and come up against several roadblocks.
According to Rootshell Security, for an organisation leveraging a traditional vulnerability management solution, threat assessment and management becomes a time- and labour-intensive task.
Such a company with no consolidated system into action fails to enable cross-departmental collaboration which makes vulnerability management tracking extremely challenging
In addition, due to the traditional “scan-the-network” failing to work for dynamic multi-dimensional attack surfaces, it cannot discover all potential vulnerabilities.
That said, when more than 76% of all web apps now include at least one security vulnerability, and 80% of cyberattacks exploit vulnerabilities reported three or more years ago, cashing in on a quality vulnerability management system is a no-brainer.
According to Rootshell Security, having highly efficacious vulnerability management software with a concurrent remediation model helps IT security teams thwart cyber threats in their infancy, thus stopping their cascading catastrophic consequences on organisations.
Plus, by leveraging its robust vulnerability management framework, organisations can allocate resources to the most critical issues. The result is an uncompromised network with coordinated and faster risk remediation and stronger resistance to attacks leading to measurable (and quick) ROI.
But only a provider-agnostic solution can help check and monitor systems for vulnerabilities at speed and scale, Rootshell Security adds.
By enabling multi-factor authentication, real-time risk assessment reporting, and third-party system integration, such a platform efficiently accelerates each step of the vulnerability management process—from start to finish.
For example, Rootshell Security’s Prism Platform is a complete vulnerability management solution that leverages industry standards and benchmarks to help effectively manage the vulnerability lifecycle of even the most complex IT system.
By combining vulnerability data with data-driven threat intelligence, this vendor-agnostic platform delivers easily discernible risk scores while ensuring real-time monitoring of an organisation’s security posture. Thus, CISOs can promptly assess risks to prioritise and fix security vulnerabilities that pose an imminent cyber threat, the company claims.
Furthermore, with Prism’s customisable automated reporting and insightful dashboards, a company can gain a holistic view of its global threat landscape, thus continuously analysing its technical risks.
To quote one of their clients, “Prism Platform has given us a new level of visibility of our remediation efforts. As well as integrating our global network of security teams, it has simplified, and even removed, otherwise time-consuming processes.”
