id=\"5-Key-Features-of-Vulnerability-Management-Software\"><\/span>5 Key Features of Vulnerability Management Software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortlist the top features your business needs, including monitoring, risk scores, attack surface visualization, automation, and reports, when you&#8217;re selecting any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/top-cybersecurity-companies\/\">cybersecurity solution<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Continuous Monitoring &amp; Scanning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vulnerability management systems should be a consistently-active line of defense, scanning for new and old threats and monitoring your business networks and applications. Your vulnerability management software should continuously look for potential problems when you aren&#8217;t able to. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/threats\/zero-day-threat\/\">Zero-day vulnerability management<\/a>, in particular, needs to rapidly identify issues so your business can mitigate threats before they cost you money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Risk Scoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cataloging and remediating risks can easily become overwhelming if your security team doesn&#8217;t know exactly what steps to take. Scoring risks based on their severity helps personnel prioritize remediation tasks. For example, an unpatched zero day is probably a more urgent fix than an employee&#8217;s outdated version of Microsoft Word. Risk scoring plays a critical role in ensuring that vulnerability management is successful over time because it helps employees avoid overwhelm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Attack Surface Visualization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Attack surface visualization is intended to simplify the process of identifying all the places your business could be attacked. It should cover internet-facing and internal assets to give your team a complete picture of its vulnerabilities and the areas that the team needs to protect. A strong attack surface visualization solution needs to be comprehensive so you aren&#8217;t missing key pieces of the security puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Automated Remediation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Security teams don&#8217;t always have time to fix every vulnerability. This is where automation comes in: Remediation strategies should ideally have automatic fixes for at least some vulnerability management tasks. For example, a predesigned patch management workflow might be triggered when a vulnerability scanner detects an unpatched asset. Then your security team knows exactly what to patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Customizable Reporting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, other teams in your organization need to know what&#8217;s going on in the IT department. Reports help security teams provide the most relevant information to company stakeholders, including the executive team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Policy-driven <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/compliance\/compliance-gdpr-pipl-ccpa\/\">compliance<\/a> reports are also important, not just current vulnerability stats. Ideally, the reporting feature in a vulnerability management tool should offer both premade templates and customization options so your security team can tailor reports to your business&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-I-Evaluated-the-Best-Vulnerability-Management-Software\"><\/span>How I Evaluated the Best Vulnerability Management Software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We evaluated a broad selection of vulnerability management products using a product scoring rubric. I looked at available information, including vendor product pages, data sheets, and independent user reviews, to determine which products are best for our audience. I divided the rubric into six major categories. Each of the categories had subcriteria with its own weighting, which factored into the total score. Each product received an overall score out of five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Evaluation Criteria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To create the scoring rubric, I first considered the most important vulnerability management features that businesses need. Then I looked at ease of use and administrative features, like documentation and managed services. I then evaluated nice-to-have features, like asset groups, and pricing, including per-asset pricing and free trials. Lastly, I scored the solutions based on their customer support offerings, relevant integrations, and customization features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Core features (30%):<\/strong> I looked at the most important features of vulnerability management tools, including asset discovery, risk scoring, patching, and reporting capabilities.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> Multiple winners<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ease of use and administration (20%):<\/strong> I considered availability of knowledge bases, documentation, training videos, and whether the product is available as a managed service.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/link.technologyadvice.com\/r\/microsoft-defender-vulnerability-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Microsoft<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pricing (15%):<\/strong> This category evaluated the vendor&#8217;s pricing availability, its relative value, and any free product trials.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> Multiple winners<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Additional features (15%): <\/strong>I scored less common features like RBAC and risk exceptions.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/link.technologyadvice.com\/r\/holm-security-main\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Holm Security<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer support (10%):<\/strong> I evaluated chat, email, and phone technical support as well as hours of availability.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> Multiple winners<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integrations and customization (10%):<\/strong> This category included capabilities like integrations with continuous integration and deployment (CI\/CD) tools and custom reports.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/link.technologyadvice.com\/r\/tenable-esp-vulnerability-management-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Tenable<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently-Asked-Questions-FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">What Is the Difference Between Vulnerability Scanning &amp; Vulnerability Management?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vulnerability management is broader than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/networks\/vulnerability-scanning-what-it-is-and-how-to-do-it-right\/\">vulnerability scanning<\/a>. It&#8217;s not just scanning assets and networks but also helping security teams remediate vulnerabilities and improve their overall security posture. Vulnerability management should help your business create a map of sorts to locate common weaknesses in your security infrastructure and make lasting improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">What Is the Difference Between Risk Management &amp; Vulnerability Management?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk management is a broader enterprise category because it covers all aspects of business risk, including security vulnerabilities but also financial risks and events like natural disasters. A risk management plan should include planning for cybersecurity risks, which may include a vulnerability management strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">What Is an Example of a Vulnerability Management KPI?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vulnerability management key performance indicators (KPI) should be easily measurable metrics that your team aims to hit, such as a specific length of time between a vulnerability being observed and being remediated. The more detailed your KPIs are, the more easily your security team can decide whether your vulnerability management strategy is working and whether it needs to be changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/trends\/vulnerability-management-policy\/\">creating a vulnerability management policy<\/a>, including policy best practices, required sections for a policy, and a free policy template.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom-Line-Vulnerability-Management-Is-Critical-for-Security\"><\/span>Bottom Line: Vulnerability Management Is Critical for Security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are roughly 20,000 new vulnerabilities discovered each year \u2014 and many of them are zero-day vulnerabilities that aren\u2019t discovered until they\u2019ve been used in a cyberattack. Plugging those holes takes a lot of time and dedication, even for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/networks\/how-to-secure-a-network\/\">the most secure companies and networks<\/a>.
