When a vulnerability is reported, you don’t have time to set up your own VRM process. Let us do it for you. Our experience managing vulnerabilities and security threats on behalf of more than 1,000 customers gives us the knowledge we need to help you make sure you’re keeping up with the most recent security threats facing your organisation.
Next Defence's Vulnerability Management Platform (VMP) is an enterprise-class platform that delivers comprehensive coverage, continual visibility, risk-based assessment, and integral remediation of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations from a single console.
Our expertise in vulnerability risk management (VRM) will help you manage, execute, and prioritize remediation across your environment.
Ensure that all policies, procedures, and vulnerability management processes are in place to build collaboration within your organisation, remediate vulnerabilities, and measure the impact of your efforts.
Stay ahead of emerging threats with more efficient risk management and access to the latest CVE checks.
Help your employees feel safe and secure in the workplace.
Continuously monitor your endpoints for vulnerabilities. Analyse the risk of each vulnerability and focus on fixing what’s urgent. Instantly remediate vulnerabilities with automatically correlated patches. Mitigate publicly disclosed or zero-day vulnerabilities.
Use a comprehensive configuration analysis tool to quickly assess endpoints for over 120 misconfigurations, remediate affected machines instantly, and be informed of potential issues that may arise following configuration changes.
Protect your web servers from 220 insecure configurations with Next Defence's Web Scanner. It specifically targets the most widely used web servers—Apache, NGINX, IIS and Tomcat—and provides security recommendations for hardening them.
Deploy patches to over 350 third-party applications. Use flexible deployment policies to customize every step of patching. Test and approve patches and decline problematic or less critical patches.
Ensure that any legacy software in your organisation is no longer supported by the vendor—and, of course, remove peer-to-peer or remote sharing software that is deemed unsafe.
Identify the active ports that are open in your endpoints. Then, filter out ports based on port range and type, and monitor only the executables that are listening on each port.

Vulnerability management is the process of detecting, assessing, reporting on and remediating cyber vulnerabilities across endpoints, workloads and systems. A security team typically uses a vulnerability management tool to detect vulnerabilities and different processes to patch or remediate them.
Bugs are errors in the process of building and coding software that are sometimes left behind. Some bugs aren’t harmful (except to the potential performance of the technology), but many can be taken advantage of by malicious actors. These are known as vulnerabilities, which can force software to act in ways not intended by its creator, such as gleaning information about the current security defenses in place.
A vulnerability that is determined to be a risk is registered by MITRE as a CVE, or common vulnerability exposure, and assigned a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score to reflect the potential risk it could introduce to your organization. This central listing of CVEs serves as a reference point for vulnerability scanners.
Generally, a vulnerability scanner will scan your environment and compare it to a database of vulnerabilities. The more information you give the scanner, the better it performs its job. Once you have a report of your vulnerabilities, you can use penetration testing to see where weaknesses exist so they can be fixed. When you employ frequent and consistent scanning, you'll start to see common threads between weaknesses—giving you a better understanding of the full system.
A vulnerability can be described as a weakness of an asset that can be exploited by one or more threats.
A threat is something that can take advantage of a vulnerability.
The risk of a threat exploiting a vulnerability is the damage that could be caused by the open vulnerability being exploited by a threat.
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a free and open industry standard that Next Defence and many other cybersecurity organizations use to assess and communicate the severity and characteristics of software vulnerabilities. The CVSS Base Score ranges from 0.0 to 10.0, with a severity rating for CVSS scores provided by The National Vulnerability Database (NVD).
As follows is a breakdown of the CVSS v3.0 scores and associated ratings:
A Vulnerability Assessment is a crucial step in any comprehensive Vulnerability Management action plan. Organisations should run multiple Vulnerability Assessments to get the most complete picture of their threat landscape.
