Preventative beats reactive: Modern risk management for infrastructure vulnerabilities
- Organizations often overlook vulnerabilities in system images, with many container images in production containing critical vulnerabilities.
- Cloud environments present new security challenges that require modernized risk management approaches.
- Challenges in cloud risk management include visibility, updating, and scaling, especially in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
- Legacy workflows are inadequate for addressing vulnerabilities in modern infrastructure.
- Implementing preventative risk management strategies is essential to protect organizations from vulnerable images.
- Using tools like HCP Terraform and HCP Packer can help organizations manage system images efficiently and reduce vulnerabilities.
- Continuous repaving of system images every 30 days can help prevent vulnerabilities and reduce the window for exploitation.
- The approach of proactive preventative risk management complements reactive security methods, enhancing overall infrastructure security.
- By focusing on security before deployment, organizations can decrease the burden on reactive security measures.
- HCP Terraform and HCP Packer offer a comprehensive workflow for vulnerability and patch management in infrastructure.
