From Manual Patching To An Automated Ecosystem Play

This eBook explains why manual patching alone is not enough and makes the case for an automated vulnerability remediation ecosystem. It is for security and IT leaders who feel they are patching as fast as they can and still falling behind.

The eBook argues that scanning plus manual patching becomes a game of Whack-a-Mole. It proposes coordinating the vulnerability scanner with other tools, including endpoint protection, ITSM, configuration management, CMDB and SIEM/SOAR. It then describes four continuous stages of an end-to-end security process. For each stage it lists practical questions, such as whether you know where all your assets are.

What you’ll learn

• The limits of relying on vulnerability scanning as the main strategy
• How asset discovery and inventory set the foundation
• How scanning and monitoring collect real-time endpoint data
• How to prioritize vulnerabilities by asset value and threat
• Why mitigation can go beyond patching, such as configuration or policy changes
