How to Address the Patching Paradox

  • Analyze your vulnerability response capabilities. Assess vulnerability detection and patching capabilities to identify vulnerability response issues.
  • Tackle low-hanging fruit first. Prioritize minor vulnerability response problems and build a comprehensive vulnerability response strategy over time.
  • Eliminate barriers between security and IT teams. Combine vulnerability and IT configuration data into a single platform to drive collaboration between security and IT teams.
  • Create end-to-end vulnerability response processes. Develop vulnerability response processes and ensure that security and IT teams have a shared view of these processes.
  • Retain security talent. Remove internal barriers, optimize day-to-day processes and automate mundane work; by doing so, an organization can create a positive environment for security teams, increase employee satisfaction and boost the likelihood of retaining top security talent.
Manual vulnerability response processes, siloed tools and data and other issues often make it difficult for a security team to streamline patch management
However, automating vulnerability response tasks can help a security team accelerate patch management and reduce the risk of breaches.

mobile application Security Testing

Apps that enterprises develop themselves (or have developed by outsourcers) must be tested, to ensure they’re not leaking customer data or opening the enterprise to attack It’s cheaper and faster to test apps pre-production than it is after deployment Automated testing of mobile software is faster and more effective than manual testing Mobile applications interact with back-end web servers and services that also need to be tested That’s where AppScan® comes in What customers struggle with: Deploying secure mobile applications – both iOS and Android Static testing of mobile applications for security exposures, prior to deployment Inability to assess security of mobile applications developed by outsourcers Finding resources to test application code Understanding security risks of the mobile application environment Bringing together mobile application testing results with back-end web application and services resu...
