Vulnerability Remediation Management

VRM is a procedure used by organizations to resolve or reduce the risks associated with detected security vulnerabilities. Information security vulnerability is an area in which a company could be attacked or harmed. Vulnerabilities in an organization’s cyber security defenses are typically identified proactively through vulnerability scanning software, manual configuration assessments, vendor emergency fixes, or more in-depth penetration testing of infrastructure, networks, and applications, among other methods.

The challenge of reducing vulnerability

The amount of documented security vulnerabilities grows in lockstep with the prevalence of technology within organizations and the potential of cyber security breaches.

Regrettably, the mechanisms that followed the disclosure of these vulnerabilities did not keep up. As a result, most organizations have an ever-growing list of unresolved vulnerabilities that might pose serious hazards to the organization. This is exacerbated by the fact that these reports frequently come from disparate sources and are sent in disparate forms to disparate parties. This implies that the organization lacks a unified perspective of all vulnerabilities and possible hazards.

The following are some of the major issues that organizations face:

• Inconsistency and inefficiency in the process
• Information from several sources
• Difficult reporting channels
• There is a lack of clear accountability and obligation to correct.

The Grow Flux solution automates the assignment, tracking, and reporting of vulnerabilities from any source. This frees up your team’s time to focus on addressing vulnerabilities rather than managing the process.

Identify

Determine the origins of all reported open vulnerabilities, including manual finds, penetration testing findings, automated scan results, and so forth.

Create a risk-rating policy that applies to all sorts of vulnerabilities. Then, with all stakeholders, agree on the repair strategy and responsibility.

Allocate

Assign vulnerabilities to accountable personnel, who might be company workers or third-party providers. After that, set deadlines.

Track

Monitor the status of Vulnerability Remediation, paying special attention to major risks and delayed treatment measures. Then, inside Grow Flux, follow-up, answer, and attach evidence to consolidate communication streams.

Validate

Examine therapy actions to establish their efficacy. Grow Flux facilitates this procedure and allows for the start of retesting (as necessary).

Report

Grow Flux contains all vulnerabilities, ratings, duties, statuses, and so on. This enables robust, centralized, real-time reporting.
