What is Vulnerability Management?

Vulnerability management is the ongoing practice of managing vulnerabilities in your IT systems.

Vulnerability management is an important pillar of cybersecurity and a critical part of any organization’s overall security and digital resilience strategy.

Every system has vulnerabilities and weak spots that present prime targets for threat actors. Adapting a vulnerability management process will help reduce your system’s attack surface, strengthen your system’s security posture, and enhance your digital resilience strategy.

How is Vulnerability Management Relevant to our Digital Resilience Strategy?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act entered into force on 16 January 2023 and will apply from January 2025. ICT Risk Management is one of the key pillars of DORA’s framework. The requirement is defined as a comprehensive risk management framework for ICT systems, including policies, procedures, regular assessments, and programs.

Financial entities must have internal governance and control frameworks to ensure effective and prudent management of ICT risk and achieve strong digital operational resilience.

Why is Vulnerability Scanning Important?

Vulnerability Scanning is an integral part of a holistic approach to Vulnerability Management. It is defined as the practice of identifying security weaknesses in systems, networks, and applications. Organizations can proactively address vulnerabilities by conducting regular scans, reducing the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches.

Vulnerability scanning also helps organizations maintain compliance with industry regulations and security standards, as many frameworks require periodic vulnerability assessments. Implementing vulnerability scanning also demonstrates a commitment to data protection, instills confidence in stakeholders, and strengthens overall security measures.

How can you Effectively Identify Vulnerabilities in your System?

CSP has been an innovator in NonStop security for over thirty years and understands the complex security challenges facing the NonStop platform.

No organization is immune to threats. Corporations cannot trust any single element within their organizations. Inaction to provide protection, hoping for the best, is not a strategy.

CSP understands enterprises must continuously check their NonStop systems for inconsistencies, so we developed CSP Vulnerability Scanner v2.0, an easy-to-use vulnerability scanning and reporting tool for NonStop Systems.
