This is Dev.
Dev is Head of Security Operations at Acme Corp. He’s a cyber hero. Reporting, analysis, controls, incident response, remediation. He makes it happen.
His organization was focusing on cyber hygiene to improve its security posture. Dev was challenged to improve the way his team fixes vulnerabilities. They have several vulnerability scanners, each producing a large amount of data. Far too much to fix with his limited resources. Dev needed to get smart about prioritization.
Dev has doubts.
There had been a time when only severity mattered. Criticals first. Then highs. Mediums and lows if you find the time.
But Dev had doubts. Was that the most effective way to reduce risk to the business? He realized he needed better data.
Dev only knows half the story about each asset. If he knew how important each asset was, he’d be able to prioritize remediation more effectively.
Wheneverything’s critical,nothing’s critical.
Dev’s backup arrives.
To solve his problems, Dev looks to Panaseer.
Panaseer’s Continuous Controls Monitoring platform not only puts all that vulnerability data into one easily manageable place, it also solves Dev’s prioritization challenge. Panaseer provides a complete asset inventory enriched with business context.
Dev uses Panaseer to get the best bang for his buck when it comes to remediation. It lets him focus on vulnerabilities that affect the most important assets, so he knows his efforts will genuinely reduce risk to the business.
Are they part of a critical process? PII? Internet facing?
The moral of the story… not all vulnerabilities are created equal. Simply prioritizing based on severity doesn’t mean you’re reducing risk in the most effective way.
Context is Queen!
Now that Dev has context around his assets, he knows what to prioritize for remediation. That ensures his remediation efforts will reduce business risk and he’s using his limited resources the best he can.
The End. Or is it?
