iDefense® Vulnerability Intelligence Services

Advanced Intelligence Improves Vulnerability Management

Vulnerability Intelligence Services. The ever-growing complexity of enterprise IT environments continues to push the limits of internal security teams. Satisfying the requirements to deploy and support new IT assets is challenging enough without having to manage an evolving set of security weaknesses within those systems. Everyday software and hardware systems are discovered to have new vulnerabilities of varying severity, making vulnerability management a critical component of all enterprises’ security policies and procedures. Several vulnerability management products and services have been introduced to the market, enabling more proactive detection and remediation of security vulnerabilities. This helps security teams address weaknesses before they are exploited and evolve from purely defensive to proactive security measures to protect themselves; however, they still create a significant burden on security teams to keep up with the ever-evolving universe of new and emerging threats.

Case study: the benefits of advanced intelligence on the vulnerability management process

One VeriSign iDefense client has experienced significant cost savings due to the improved efficiency of its Patch Management process driven by timely and accurate vulnerability research. A top-10 enterprise services firm saved about US$5M by using iDefense analysis to decide – correctly – not to install three out-of-cycle patches even though other security organisations were recommending them.
