TVM isn’t only about Threat & Vulnerability assessment. At the heart of a Cybersecurity TVM program is vulnerability remediation. This is the process of taking discovered vulnerabilities and prioritizing them to be fix.
IT professionals have a lot to do: they must keep business critical systems performing so that the company can continue to generate revenue. In many organizations, Cybersecurity and IT objectives and goals may not align.
Patching and remediation is hard. Since 2017, there are 15,000+ new vulnerabilities each year. Vulnerabilities can be caused by missing patches, misconfigurations, or by combining conditions. Fixes can be complex or non-existent, requiring mitigation.
Remediation must be applied to a host of different types of products and technologies including operating systems, network devices, embedded devices, smart devices, endpoints, and applications.
Secutor's consultants interview your IT and cybersecurity staff to understand both parts of the equation: your Threat & Vulnerability Management program and Information Technology's ability to effectively remediate vulnerabilities.
Our consultants evaluate the effectiveness of your technologies as enablers for remediation. We report on how effective current solutions are at both vulnerability detection, patching, remediation, and rescanning.
We learn everything that we can about your remediation capabilities and evaluate the effectiveness of the program. We then evaluate your prioritization and vulnerability classification criteria to understand how risk decisions are made when rolling out vulnerability fixes.
A key element of our assessment. During the assessment, we provide status updates and current observations. At the conclusion, we provide a formal outbrief, an executive summary, and a detailed report.
