The Imperative of Risk-Based Cyber Risk Management in Combating Rising Threats
Cyberattacks are escalating rapidly with vulnerabilities in software increasing by more than 50% over the past half-decade. This alarming trend results from unpatched and inadequately configured systems; an astonishing 75% of businesses perceive themselves as vulnerable to a cyberattack due to such unpatched software.
In the face of these rising threats, security teams grapple with an onslaught of new vulnerabilities. The evolving security landscape only amplifies this workload, making it increasingly clear that traditional vulnerability management programs are falling short in managing the expanding attack surface.
Enter Cyber Tzar Risk Manager, a risk-based cyber risk management platform that offers the comprehensive capabilities organisations require to identify and effectively respond to modern threats. Let’s take a closer look at the traditional vulnerability management programs, the emerging risk-based alternatives, and the crucial differences between them.
Traditional Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability management is a routine process involving the discovery and resolution of vulnerabilities. This includes various stages like scanning, detection, assessment, and remediation. Once vulnerabilities are detected, security teams promptly set about remediation. However, the reliance of traditional vulnerability management on CVSS scores can lead to security teams mis-prioritising their efforts, squandering time on low-risk vulnerabilities.
The major shortfall of this conventional approach is its failure to provide exhaustive insights into the potential risks each vulnerability presents. Such practices cannot offer an adequate threat context, resulting in an inability to accurately identify the gravest risks confronting an organisation.
Risk-Based Cyber Risk Management
Contrastingly, a risk-based strategy empowers organisations to assess the risk level of vulnerabilities. It enables teams to prioritise vulnerabilities based on their assessed risk levels and remediate those posing higher risks, minimising potential attacks in a manner that’s efficient, continuous, and automated.
Given that over 90% of successful cyberattacks exploit unpatched vulnerabilities, the demand for automated patch management solutions is burgeoning. Organisations are actively seeking a smarter and more efficient vulnerability remediation strategy than those employed previously.
