Vulnerability remediation is the process of discovering IT vulnerabilities and assessing their risks to develop viable countermeasures and remedies. This assessment is a proactive strategy to addressing the vulnerabilities and, if feasible, eliminating the risk.

Vulnerability management is the continual process of assessing, identifying, managing, remediating, and reporting security vulnerabilities across endpoints, systems, and workloads. 

The use of scanless assessment to recognize vulnerabilities has numerous benefits, including minimizing network interruption. 

In today's world, data breaches and cyberattacks are very common. There are many news reports of the latest cyber incident nearly every week. You can understand why cybersecurity is an increasing concern for businesses with lots of data breaches happening all around the world.

If you are a cybersecurity veteran, you would know that one of the best ways to prevent a data breach is through vulnerability scanning.

The term patch triggers many familiar scenarios which include the duct tape repairs of different objects, affixing a rubber patch to a blown bicycle tire and much more. While these temporary fixes won’t heal the fundamental cause, they are easy and quick solutions.

Cybersecurity automation in vulnerability management and security operations is a new topic in the IT industry. This is a result of the ongoing cybersecurity skills shortage and an increase in the sophistication and volume of cyber threats as well as a rise in cyber attackers using automation for their campaigns.

Automated vulnerability remediation helps organizations build and implement a risk-focused, contextual and effective vulnerability management program. Therefore, this will help them decide on the effective vulnerability remediation approach based on assets, security patches and security updates across common vulnerabilities.
