Threat and Vulnerability Management

Threat and Vulnerability Management is a key to keeping the threat actor away from the information assets of an organisation. Here's what this typically involves:
 

1. Asset Discovery & Inventory

   • Identify and catalogue all hardware, software, and cloud assets to ensure complete visibility.

2. Threat Intelligence & Vulnerability Scanning

   • Use automated tools and threat feeds to detect vulnerabilities and stay updated on emerging threats.

3. Risk Assessment & Prioritization

   • Assess and prioritize vulnerabilities based on potential impact, exploitability, and asset criticality.

4. Remediation & Mitigation Execution

   • Apply patches, configurations, or compensating controls to address identified risks.

5. Verification & Reporting

   • Re-scan assets to confirm fixes, conduct testing, and generate reports for stakeholders.

6. Continuous Monitoring & Improvement

   • Monitor for new threats, improve processes based on lessons learned, and conduct employee awareness training.
