Network Vulnerabilities & How to Address Them
Vulnerabilities enable attacks. As networks become more complex, vulnerabilities also rise, increasing pressure on individuals like Dave to identify and address these issues.
Meet Dave, a network security administrator
Every month, Dave receives raw data that is dumped for him to review — thousands of CVEs along with data from CISA and device vendor sites.
What network devices does he own? For each device, what are the hardware and firmware versions?
He reviews the extensive list of CVE data to assess the impact on his organization and prioritize based on active vulnerability exploitation.
Once Dave decides which CVEs to address first, he begins making OS updates and configuration changes.
For Dave, this entire process is manual, prone to errors, complicated, time-consuming, and often requires working after hours.
Imagine if Dave could reduce this process from weeks to hours?
A secure network is vital to overall cyber security
Exploiting vulnerabilities, attackers can get into your network and compromise your systems and data.
