Action description

Companies and organizations are facing growing cyber threats. Both the number of attacks against IT networks and the damage they cause are increasing (in August this year, the record sum of 75 million dollars was paid to a group of ransomware extortionists). Hardly any company can afford to operate without a functioning IT infrastructure in the long term. For companies of all sizes and in almost every industry, as well as for practically all public institutions, it is therefore essential to guarantee the ability to function both in day-to-day business and in the event of a sudden crisis.

Cybersecurity is therefore not “nice to have”, but essential for survival. The key to a robust and efficient security strategy is the continuous provision, monitoring and evaluation of security data, which ideally is always available in consistently high quality. This is where vulnerability management comes into play. With a customized solution, you can counter both the increasing number of new vulnerabilities and the ever-fiercer race against time that unfolds with potential attackers: after vulnerabilities are publicly disclosed, IT managers must close these attack vectors faster than cybercriminals can exploit them.

Using vulnerability management, on the other hand, means establishing a highly proactive security strategy that offers the best possible protection against potential attackers: with thousands of tests, providers like Greenbone can check their customers' IT systems for many security vulnerabilities that are not yet known or may never be published.

Despite all caution and prudence, security managers often face an unavoidable dilemma in their day-to-day operations: Which risks should be eliminated first? Which systems are most critical in which use case and need to be protected before all others? Which assets in the company require immediate attention and which can wait? So, scanning and managing vulnerabilities means, not least, practicing an appropriate triage among data and systems that sustainably minimizes the constantly changing overall risk of cyber attacks. It is often crucial to have a data-based justification for prioritizing certain actions, methods and strategies. It should be possible to back up the acceptance of certain residual risks with facts and to document it.
