Description: Vulnerability management refers to the process of identifying, evaluating, and mitigating security vulnerabilities. This process is essential for protecting systems, networks, and applications from potential attacks that could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. It involves a series of stages including vulnerability identification through scans and audits, risk assessment associated with each vulnerability, and the implementation of corrective or mitigating measures. Vulnerability management is a critical component of cybersecurity, as it allows organizations to anticipate threats and reduce their attack surface. Furthermore, it relies on collaboration between different teams, such as IT, security, and development, to ensure that the solutions implemented are effective and sustainable in the long term. In a constantly evolving technological environment, vulnerability management becomes an ongoing practice that requires continuous updating and adaptation to new threats and emerging technologies.
