Did a security breach just become your biggest nightmare? It’s a harsh reality for many companies. A whopping 76% of enterprise IT security executives reported business disruptions due to vulnerabilities in just the past year. Vulnerability scanners overwhelm you with thousands of vulnerabilities, leaving you wondering what to patch first? You might end up patching the wrong ones and wasting valuable time! By focusing on the threats that matter most to your business, you can patch the critical gaps and keep your company safe.
Vulnerability prioritization is the systematic process of identifying and ranking security weaknesses based on their likelihood of exploit and potential impact. By focusing resources on the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk, companies can significantly improve their security posture and minimize business disruptions.
Vulnerability prioritization isn’t about ignoring vulnerabilities. It’s about making informed decisions based on factors like:
Let’s say a vulnerability is discovered in your customer relationship management (CRM) system. It has a high severity rating, but there’s no known exploit yet. On the other hand, a vulnerability is found in a rarely used legacy system. While the severity is moderate, it could potentially expose sensitive employee data.
Prioritization allows you to:
Traditionally, prioritization relied on a combination of severity scores and guesswork. But what if you could use the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make these decisions with greater accuracy and efficiency?
The good news is, you’re not alone. A new wave of companies is harnessing the power of AI and advanced algorithms to revolutionize risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM). Here are three examples:
By leveraging AI-powered vulnerability prioritization, you can:
