Description: Vulnerability tracking is the process of monitoring and managing vulnerabilities over time, ensuring that organizations can identify, assess, and mitigate security risks in their systems and applications. This process involves the continuous collection of data on potential vulnerabilities, evaluating their impact, and implementing corrective measures. Through automated tools and manual analyses, organizations can maintain a robust security posture, adapting to new threats and changes in the technological environment. Vulnerability tracking not only focuses on detection but also on prioritizing vulnerabilities based on their severity and likelihood of exploitation. This allows organizations to allocate resources effectively and address the most critical threats first. Furthermore, vulnerability tracking is an essential component of security posture management, where configurations and services can change rapidly, increasing the attack surface. In a world where security breaches can have devastating consequences, vulnerability tracking becomes an indispensable practice to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of an organization’s data and systems.
