[Use Case] Vulnerability Management
Overview
Assess vulnerabilities that could affect your assets, with a view of criticality/severity, evaluate who is exploiting these vulnerabilities and how, and finally, project into the future with a view of the vulnerabilities.
The "Vulnerability Management" dashboard is a crucial tool for cybersecurity teams, providing a comprehensive overview of detected vulnerabilities, their severity, and their impact. This enables security teams to identify and address the most critical threats efficiently.
This dashboard empowers cybersecurity teams with a clear and real-time view of their security posture. Through its analysis and recommendations, it streamlines decision-making and facilitates efficient resource allocation, ultimately strengthening IT security and reducing exposure to cyber threats.
Composition
The dashboard offers a detailed view of vulnerabilities, categorizing them based on severity levels and CVSS scores. It presents key statistics on vulnerability distribution, allowing security professionals to assess the overall risk landscape. Additionally, it tracks the history of detected and remediated vulnerabilities, helping teams analyze past trends and assess the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. Relationships between vulnerabilities and affected assets are also highlighted, ensuring that teams can pinpoint which systems are at risk.
An important aspect of the dashboard is its exploit analysis, which identifies vulnerabilities actively exploited in real-world attacks. It correlates vulnerabilities with real-time threats and provides insights into exploitation trends. Furthermore, the dashboard evaluates vulnerabilities based on their criticality and likelihood of being exploited. Using the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), it offers predictive risk assessments to help prioritize response efforts.
To aid in remediation, the dashboard provides actionable recommendations, including suggested patches and mitigation measures. It helps prioritize vulnerabilities that require urgent attention, ensuring that security teams focus on the most pressing threats. Additionally, performance indicators evaluate the effectiveness of remediation efforts, tracking the most exploited threats and measuring response times to security incidents.
