What’s behind unchecked CVE proliferation, and what to do about it
- The volume of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) has reached staggering levels, placing immense pressure on organizations’ cyber defenses.
- The drivers behind CVE proliferation are the increased complexity of IT systems, explosion of open-source software and rapid pace of code development.
- Continuous vulnerability discovery, effective prioritization of vulnerabilities, vulnerability resolution and reporting and continuous improvement are key to effective vulnerability management.
- Automated vulnerability scanning and risk-based vulnerability management help organizations to mitigate potential exploits.
- Correlating vulnerabilities, curation of vulnerability information, strategic scheduling scans and automation are the approaches to improve vulnerability management capabilities.
- Organizations need to tailor their approach depending on the criticality of vulnerability and the potential damage it could cause if exploited.
- The post-pandemic shift to remote and hybrid work settings adds even more complexity to IT environments, making it necessary for organizations to elevate their vulnerability management approach.
- It is also important to adopt outcome-focused security models that measure security performance by business metrics.
- Organizations must prioritize risk reduction and capitalize on the proliferation of security data to gain better visibility and a more proactive approach to vulnerability management.
- It is high time for organizations to invest in robust security technologies and solutions that can keep pace with the rapidly evolving CVE landscape and help them stay one step ahead of cyber adversaries.
