HOW THREAT INTELLIGENCE CAN IMPROVE VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT OUTCOMES
CASHING IN
Amid dynamic threats , organisations must employ a robust , risk-focused approach to vulnerability management . Chris Jacob , Global Vice President , Threat Intelligence Engineers , ThreatQuotient , shares his thoughts on why leveraging data-driven threat intelligence streamlines prioritisation , resource allocation and process automation for enhanced security .
It might surprise you to know that more than 70 new vulnerabilities are published every day . Despite their risk-reducing value in helping SOC teams address these , vulnerability management solutions have drawbacks . Often , they only provide a snapshot of an organisation ’ s vulnerabilities at a point in time .
In fact , owing to their nature , vulnerabilities identified today may not exist tomorrow , or they may appear and disappear intermittently . This leaves security teams scrambling to understand not only what the risk is , but how it affects them and where they should start first with any remediation .
Often vulnerability management solutions struggle to support SOC teams effectively , meaning they face an uphill battle with fragmented tools and data silos . This in turn creates major challenges around alert fatigue and overloaded SOC teams who , despite all the tools available to them , end up undertaking manual investigations to determine the best response .
