Don’t Let Software Vulnerabilities Go Ignored.
Vulnerability management is key to keeping an organization healthy. Why is it a good idea to let a third-party provider like White Castle take care of your vulnerability management?
It’s Ongoing
Every year thousands of new vulnerabilities are identified. Keeping track of them is a full-time task.
It’s An Art Form
Far more than simply applying patches and reconfiguring IT settings, vulnerability management means maintaining an organizational mindset to discover issues and remediate the situation.

What Is A Vulnerability?
Simply put, a vulnerability is an entry point that may exist in an operating system, network, application, or device.
Industry standards help vulnerability management professionals have a language to address the numerous vulnerabilities that arise. One such example is security content automation protocol (SCAP), which was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The SCAP is built up of individual components that help define and categorize vulnerabilities and where they are discovered. Users can then score vulnerabilities for prioritizing remediation using the common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS).
