White Paper: Deeper Look into Risk-Based Vulnerability Management

Traditionally, vulnerability management (VM) has been a foundational practice and an integral part of any standard cybersecurity initiative. However, constantly changing device
demographics and increasing sophistication in cyberattack techniques are challenging the VM
industry to evolve into a risk-based vulnerability management approach that not only identifies
unpatched software vulnerabilities but also predicts and mitigates other attack vectors.

In this white paper, we will discuss:

• Challenges and limitations of traditional VM tools
• What is risk-based vulnerability management
• Why traditional VM tools are not enough to stop breaches
• Advantages of risk-based vulnerability management
