Comprehensive Vulnerability Management is About More than Just Checking Boxes
Analyst firm TAG Cyber recently completed an evaluation of Digital Defense’s Frontline Vulnerability Manager or Frontline VM. The solution scored at the highest level “Comprehensive Vulnerability Management Support.”
In addition to meeting TAG Cyber’s 10 initial criterial –inventory, scanning, configuration, automation, reporting, patching, threat, likelihood, impact, and priority — a “Comprehensive” solution must address five additional criteria to move from an “Enhanced” solution (2nd highest level) to “Comprehensive” (highest level).
- Events – “Collect event data and correlate from multiple sources and sensors”
- Methods – “Support identification and analysis of attack targets and methods”
- Multi-hop – “Determine presence of vulnerabilities on multi-hop attack vectors”
- Audit – “Integrate analysis of audit records with vulnerability scanning information”
- Policy – “Support creation of vulnerability management policy and procedures”
These are important factors in and of themselves. However, the comprehensive designation is not just about the additional 5 criteria. The real accomplishment comes from the fact that all 15 criteria are met or supported in one intuitive solution that provides its functionality seamlessly. That means Frontline VM’s robust feature set is not a clunky combination of add-ons cobbled together like a patchwork quilt nor is the solution retrofitted to provide technology it wasn’t originally intended to provide.
Its comprehensiveness was by design – the product of a company and its engineers who are devoted to excellence in their core competencies.
