Vulnerability management is the continuous process of identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and remediating security vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure. It involves scanning your systems, analyzing findings, determining risk levels, and systematically addressing vulnerabilities to reduce your overall security risk.

Vullify uses multiple factors to prioritize vulnerabilities, including CVSS scores, EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) data, asset criticality, exposure level, and business context. This helps you focus on the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to your organization and ensures efficient use of remediation resources.

Vulnerability scanning is the technical process of detecting vulnerabilities in your systems. Vulnerability management is the broader strategic process that includes scanning, but also encompasses risk assessment, prioritization, remediation workflows, tracking, reporting, and continuous improvement of your security posture.

Continuous vulnerability management involves automatically scanning your systems on a regular schedule, immediately detecting new vulnerabilities as they appear, and providing real-time alerts. This approach ensures that your security posture is always up to date and that new threats are identified and addressed quickly, rather than waiting for periodic manual assessments.

Vullify provides comprehensive tracking and reporting tools that show remediation progress across your organization. You can view metrics like mean time to remediation (MTTR), vulnerability age, remediation rates by team, and track individual vulnerabilities through their lifecycle from discovery to resolution.

Yes, Vullify helps meet compliance requirements for standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR by providing continuous vulnerability assessments, detailed audit trails, automated reporting, and evidence of your security testing activities. The platform can also integrate with compliance tools like Drata and Vanta.

An effective vulnerability management program includes: defining your risk tolerance and remediation SLAs, establishing clear ownership and workflows, implementing continuous scanning, prioritizing based on risk and business impact, tracking and measuring progress, and continuously improving your processes based on metrics and feedback.

The vulnerability management lifecycle consists of four main phases: Discover (identify all assets and vulnerabilities), Assess (evaluate risk and prioritize), Remediate (fix or mitigate vulnerabilities), and Verify (confirm that remediation was successful). Vullify automates and streamlines each phase of this lifecycle.

Vullify uses advanced techniques including manual verification by security experts, machine learning algorithms, and contextual analysis to reduce false positives. The platform also learns from your remediation actions and feedback to improve accuracy over time. Premium plans include additional false positive reduction services.
