Data theft from company servers, credit card fraud, violation of data protection regulations or complete operating failure: vulnerabilities, weak points within the IT infrastructure, repeatedly enable unauthorised attackers to gain access to sensitive data. For a cyber criminal highly interesting targets to penetrate the IT infrastructure of a company and cause mischief there. 

Vulnerability management, or VM for short, is the regulated and continuous use of specialist security tools and workflows which actively help detect and eliminate security-related risks.

Die Ziele von VM sind:

• dentifying and fixing software errors
• Changing functionalities or announcing new threats
• Adjusting the software configuration
• Improving the management of security risks to fight against attacks
• Documenting the security status for audits and according to compliances

Most companies use small tools, in some cases free products. These isolated applications require hours of manual trawling through security alerts – a lot of which turn out to be false alarms. But not only does the accumulation of false positive alerts give headaches to those responsible for security, such “self-made solutions” also require constant manual software updates. With the nCircle Suite 360 solution Devoteam Genesis offers an advanced, fully integrable and automated vulnerability and compliance audit solution.
