Managing Vulnerabilities Takes a Village

While the terminology may vary, for nearly two decades the basic approach to vulnerability management hasn’t changed - discover assets, audit them for vulnerabilities, prioritize and patch them, and report on progress. And while valuable in limiting an attack surface, this find, fix, automate and repeat closed loop method falls short in helping organizations:

• Reduce remediation times for known vulnerabilities.
• Gain insights into new and emerging threats.
• Use vulnerability intelligence to inform least privilege access and increase threat visibility.
• Close vulnerability gaps created by technologies such as cloud, mobile, virtual, Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technologies (OT).
• Measure the impact of threats before they’re exploited.
• Evolve their focus from risk reduction to risk management.

With Retina CS, organizations can extend their vulnerability management programs by sharing real-time asset intelligence with other IT and security solutions such as SIEM, Privilege, Firewall, GRC, and more. Want to learn more about how this works? Request a live demo today! By empowering a network of solutions that cooperate to both solve new challenges and resolve existing ones in new ways – Retina CS provides businesses with greater contextual awareness so they can make smarter, more well-informed security decisions, including:

• Adding real-time vulnerability intelligence to SIEM solutions for superior targeted attack and breach detection, as well as broader compliance visibility.
• Combining asset intelligence with PAM solutions to make privilege decisions based on an application’s known vulnerabilities, their age, potential risk, and compliance impact.
• Correlating NGFW traffic with detailed vulnerability, malware and attack data for a holistic view of critical asset risks.
• Communicating with NMS and ticketing systems to escalate security and compliance events into existing IT workflows and automatically verify and report results.
• Discovering and classifying cloud-based assets, and their associated vulnerabilities for a clearer picture of risk and compliance in the cloud.
• Inserting security configuration assessment data into GRC solutions so you can track how configuration changes affect compliance.
• Linking to asset management systems to launch vulnerability scans, and generate incident tickets directly from their consoles.
