Vulnerability Management

Enhancing IT Service Reliability Through Vulnerability Management

In today’s digital world, enterprises face growing cybersecurity threats that jeopardize service reliability and business continuity. Vulnerability management (VM) is essential for mitigating these risks, providing proactive identification, prioritization, and resolution of vulnerabilities to ensure operational stability. As a cornerstone of IT service reliability, VM helps organizations reduce cyber risks, meet compliance requirements, and maintain uninterrupted service delivery.
However, implementing an effective VM program in large enterprises presents challenges, such as managing the sheer volume of assets, sifting through excessive vulnerability data, siloed team operations, resource limitations, and meeting stringent compliance requirements standards.
