Vulnerability Management

Minimize Exploitable Security Weaknesses in Your Environment

What is Vulnerability Management?

Vulnerability management is a systematic process that involves discovering, classifying, prioritizing, remediating, reporting, and responding to security vulnerabilities in software and network systems. Identified vulnerabilities can be addressed through various methods, including patching, reconfiguring software, or updating security policies.



A security vulnerability is defined as a flaw, weakness, or error within your security framework that could be exploited by malicious actors to compromise your network.

Minimize Exploitable Security Weaknesses in Your Environment

New vulnerabilities emerge in your IT environment daily, but not all vulnerabilities pose the same level of risk. Most exploited vulnerabilities are already known to security and IT professionals at the time of an incident.


Many organizations adopt a reactive approach, attempting to eliminate vulnerabilities as soon as they are discovered. However, this "Whack-A-Mole" strategy often leaves security teams overwhelmed and perpetually behind. Instead of trying to patch every vulnerability, it's crucial to focus on those that present the greatest risk to your organization.


This requires a risk-based analysis and prioritization of vulnerabilities, utilizing data-driven metrics aligned with your business objectives. By doing so, you can minimize unnecessary patching and downtime, ensuring that your resources are effectively allocated to the most critical vulnerabilities.


Not all vulnerabilities are created equal. A robust vulnerability management program leverages threat intelligence and insights into IT and business operations to prioritize risks and address vulnerabilities swiftly. This approach helps organizations maintain continuous visibility into their security posture, allowing them to identify and remediate the most critical vulnerabilities efficiently.

Management Lifecycle

Organizations will always require proactive defenses; however, vulnerabilities with known fixes still account for a significant number of breaches.


With Visibily, you can rely on a vulnerability management process designed for continuous improvement. The process begins with discovery, where we analyze your current state and identify critical data, assets, and objectives to establish a clear baseline. Next, you’ll prioritize Visibily's recommendations for triage and program execution. Based on the vulnerabilities you've prioritized, your Visibily team will implement the appropriate remediation services.


The final phase validates progress and directly compares results against your established baseline. You will receive clear, consolidated reports that outline revised recommendations and lessons learned.


This approach allows you to continually refine your vulnerability management program for ongoing, incremental improvements.


What Are Some of the Most Common Security Vulnerabilities?

  • Insider threat
  • Unpatched or outdated software
  • Weak or missing authorization credentials
  • Inadequate data encryption
  • Misconfigured systems
  • Poor resource management


Security vulnerabilities may exist within:


  • Your governance program (ownership, documentation, threat and vulnerability detection, information sharing, risk management)
  • Your technology (network, wireless, host, and application processes and tools)
  • Your scanning processes (network, wireless, host, and application scanning)
  • The organizational remediation process (program tracking and metrics)


By addressing these vulnerabilities, you can enhance your overall security posture and reduce the risk of breaches.

The Steps to Cyber Strategy Success

Our Cyber Strategy and Roadmap offering delivers a customized methodology and approach considering your organization’s priority objectives. By completing the following three phases, we’ll know what you need and the efficient way to protect what matters:


Analyze Your Current Vulnerability State

A current-state analysis serves as a vital foundation for effective vulnerability management. During the discovery phase, you will identify essential data, assets, and their owners to establish a baseline.


  • Current vulnerability status
  • Relevant processes
  • Environmental factors
  • Key stakeholders and contacts
  • Strengths and areas for improvement

This thorough analysis enables organizations to understand their existing vulnerabilities and set the stage for targeted remediation efforts.

Prioritize Recommendations for Implementation

The ability to prioritize your findings is a fundamental aspect of successful threat and vulnerability management. Each identified vulnerability carries a remediation cost in terms of time and risk. In this phase, you will prioritize the next steps based on various factors, such as asset criticality, vulnerability type, and threat intelligence, ensuring you know where to concentrate your efforts first.


  • Process recommendations
  • Triage of vulnerabilities
  • Roadmap for program execution

Implement the Appropriate Remediation Services

This phase emphasizes the recommendations and roadmap provided in the previous stage. You will select which remediation services you would like Visibily to implement.

  • Guidance on recommendations
  • Remediation support
  • Client education
  • Root-cause analysis
  • Ongoing status reporting during program execution

Evaluate Results Against Expectations

The final phase is validation, where you and your Visibily team confirm that the corrective actions taken were successful, that the outcomes met expectations, and that recommendations for future program enhancements are documented.

  • Final report comparing results to baseline
  • Consolidated remediation information
  • Key takeaways
  • Revised recommendations
