Running an effective and efficient Enterprise Vulnerability Management program

Running an effective and efficient Enterprise Vulnerability Management (EVM) program requires much more than simply conducting vulnerability and compliance scans. Relying solely on these scans and basing your reporting entirely on the findings can severely cripple the program’s effectiveness. In essence, this approach floods the organization with an endless list of vulnerabilities and tasks, creating more noise than actionable outcomes, which leads to inefficiencies, frustration, and even increased security risks.

Hey data scientist, are you really listening to the security data?

Protecting your company against the evolving landscape of both current and past threats is a formidable challenge, one that some consider insurmountable. However, it’s crucial to remember that while it may be a daunting task, it should not be perceived as impossible.

The ‘lazy’ SOC model

In the contemporary landscape, the paramount importance of security is becoming increasingly evident, casting a spotlight on the escalating workload of the SOC. This burgeoning workload is characterized not only by a surge in the sheer volume of requests and inquiries but also by the growing intricacy of security challenges. In this dynamic environment, when a security incident unfolds, there is an implicit expectation for the SOC to respond promptly and with pinpoint accuracy. Simultaneously, the SOC grapples with a persistent conundrum exacerbated by a global shortage of highly skilled security professionals — recruitment and retention.
