Issues in Vulnerability Countermeasures

Implementing vulnerability countermeasures continues to put an enormous burden on many companies.

Vulnerability Management Overview

While new security vulnerabilities are increasingly being found, the time taken for methods of misusing these vulnerabilities (such as manual attacks, worms, viruses, Trojan horses) to emerge and share is becoming shorter and shorter. As a result, it is no longer sufficient to conduct the company network audit once a year or once a quarter.

(1) Detection

QualysGuard discovers all IT assets on the network and identifies detailed information about the host such as operating systems and open services.

(2) Prioritization of IT Assets

• It manages the network by categorizing IT assets by group or department.
• Assigns business value to IT assets based on their severity to the business.

(3) Evaluation and analysis

• QualysGuard determines a baseline risk profile so that risks can be eliminated depending on the criticality of the IT assets.
• Identifies security vulnerabilities through regular automated schedules.
• Measures the business risk level of IT assets according to the security policy.
• Analyzes trend of overall security conditions over time.

(4) Improvement

QualysGuard prioritizes and fixes vulnerabilities according to business risk.

(5) Verification

QualysGuard verifies through post audits that threats have been removed.

6) Policy Compliance

• QualysGuard establishes security policies, processes, and standards necessary for compliance with government regulations and corporate policies.
• Secure audit trail and trend analysis help achieve compliance and pinpoint newly arising issues.
