How To Take the Chaos Out of Vulnerability
Management
By Pierre Samson, CRO at Hackuity
Vulnerability Management (VM) often feels like a game of whack-a-mole. No sooner has the security
team brought the hammer down on one potential threat than another pops up to take its place.
Security pros are left in a continuous state of catch-up, never quite clearing their to-do list. And any
missed vulnerability could be the one that enables threat actors to launch a devastating attack on the
company.
The number of new vulnerabilities is growing faster than ever, and attackers are growing bolder and more
organized in exploiting them. To keep up, organizations need to move away from the ‘first-come-first-
served’ approach and towards a more strategic method prioritized around a risk-based approach. This is
where the Vulnerability Operations Centre (VOC) comes in.
