Vulnerability Management
The ongoing process of identifying, prioritizing, and remediating security weaknesses across an organization's systems.
Vulnerability management is continuous, not a one-time scan: it involves regularly scanning systems for known weaknesses, prioritizing them by real-world exploitability and business impact (not just a raw severity score), and tracking remediation through to completion. Unpatched, known vulnerabilities remain one of the most common ways attackers gain initial access.
