Continual Threats Need Continual Management

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, Vulnerability Management is a critical process that helps organisations identify, assess, and remediate security weaknesses in their systems and applications. By proactively addressing vulnerabilities, organisations can significantly reduce their risk of cyberattacks, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with industry regulations.

Vulnerability Management involves a systematic approach to discovering, classifying, prioritising, and remediating vulnerabilities.  By implementing a comprehensive Vulnerability Management program, you can significantly enhance your cybersecurity posture, protect your assets, and maintain the integrity of your systems and applications. Vulnerability Management is therefore an essential component of any effective cybersecurity strategy.

VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT BENEFITS

Why Vulnerability Management Is No Longer a ‘Nice-to-Have’

Increasingly Sophisticated Cyberattacks

Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and attackers are constantly developing new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and gain access to sensitive data. Organisations that fail to implement effective vulnerability management practices are at a much greater risk of being attacked.

Cost of Data
Breaches

The cost of data breaches is on the rise, and organisations of all sizes are increasingly being targeted. According to the Ponemon Institute, the average cost of a data breach in 2023 was $4.24 million. Organisations that fail to implement effective vulnerability management practices are at risk of incurring significant financial losses as a result of a data breach.

An Evolving Regulatory Landscape

There are a growing number of regulations that require organisations to implement effective vulnerability management practices. A few such regulations are the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Organisations that fail to comply with these regulations can face significant fines and penalties.

An Evolving Threat Landscape

The threat landscape is constantly evolving, and new threats are emerging all the time. Organisations need to be able to adapt their vulnerability management practices to keep up with the latest threats. Organisations that fail to do so are at risk of being caught off guard by new attacks.

OUR APPROACH TO VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT

Need Help With Your Vulnerability Management Strategy? We’re Experts.  

Deimos has a comprehensive strategy for Vulnerability Management consisting of:

Vulnerability

Scanning

This involves using automated tools to scan systems and applications for known vulnerabilities. These tools identify weaknesses in software, operating systems, and cloud resources that could be exploited by attackers.Deimos typically embeds these tools into your build and deploy pipelines, and through automated scanning of infrastructure components.

Vulnerability

Assessment

Once vulnerabilities have been identified, they are assessed to determine their severity and potential impact. This involves analysing the vulnerability, considering the likelihood of exploitation and the potential damage it could cause.

With our vast experience in the industry, we are able to help you assess vulnerabilities in order to determine their potential impact on your business.

Vulnerability

Prioritisation

Not all vulnerabilities are created equal. Vulnerability prioritisation involves ranking vulnerabilities based on their severity, potential impact, likelihood of exploitation, and ease of remediation.

Deimos works with your team to prioritise the most critical vulnerabilities first.

Vulnerability

Remediation

Once a vulnerability has been prioritised, it is remediated by implementing a patch, workaround, or other solution. Remediation should be executed in a timely and controlled manner to minimise disruption to business operations.

Deimos has an extensive team of security engineers who are able to help you remediate any vulnerabilities found.

Vulnerability

Reporting

We’ll help you maintain accurate records of identified vulnerabilities, their assessments, and the remediation actions taken. This reporting can be used to track progress, identify trends, and demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.

Defect Dojo and Dependency Track are only two of the tools Deimos implements to assist with reporting, remediation, and assessment.

Vulnerability

Monitoring

Vulnerability Management is an ongoing process, rather than a one-time event. Systems and applications should be continually monitored for new vulnerabilities, and remediation efforts should be tracked to ensure that they are effective.

Deimos offers services for the ongoing monitoring of vulnerabilities, but can also train your internal team on the process, allowing you to have continual oversight of it.
