How Exposure Management Can Make Pen Testing More Effective>
– Chris Whipp
Exposure management is the process of managing and minimizing the exposure of an organization’s critical systems, applications, and data to attack or exploitation. This process involves several components, including vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, risk assessment, asset management, and remediation. Together, these components provide organizations with the insight and insight-derived guidance necessary to make informed security decisions. This helps organizations reduce the likelihood of attack or data breaches, while enabling them to better manage their risk, compliance, and overall security posture. Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing help organizations to identify and triage potential vulnerabilities and entry points for exploitation that must be addressed. By accurately and thoroughly assessing the attack appears of specific systems, applications, and data, organizations can reduce their risk of an attack. Risk assessment ensures that systems, applications, and data have the necessary safety measures in place to effectively mitigate threats and vulnerabilities. Asset management enables organizations to identify and inventory the assets and systems they are responsible for, which helps them better manage security and compliance risk. Finally, remediation takes into account the results of vulnerability scanning and risk assessment and helps organizations to address the necessary actions to reduce their risk of attack or data breaches. By implementing exposure management, organizations can be better prepared to defend against threats and
