Cybercriminals are smarter, faster, and more relentless in their attacks than in times past. Data breaches are a serious threat to organizations, but vulnerability management automation can help reduce the number of incidents businesses face each year. Managing vulnerabilities is difficult in an increasingly connected cyber environment. Companies have their own networks, networks connected to their supply chains, vendor access, remote workers, and other entry points, all creating security gaps.

Traditional vulnerability management is in need of a desperate change due to the lack of effectiveness in combating modern cyberattacks. It’s a bold statement, but true, nonetheless, because it’s just not enough. Numbers don’t lie, and the only direction the average cost of recovering from cyberattacks seems to move is up. Putting the monetary effect aside, a successful cyberattack from ineffective vulnerability management can fatally hit an organization’s reputation.
