Abstract: Network vulnerability management is an important part of network upkeep. Tracking vulnerabilities, understanding their impact on the network, and remediating them helps protect the network from cyberattack. But it is often a time-consuming, labor-intensive process and, therefore, doesn’t get the attention required. Table of Contents A New Network Vulnerability Management Approach: Risk management vs
I was reading a research note by Gartner, ‘Maverick Research: Risk Management Produces Bad Cybersecurity’ ($), and it brought up some interesting observations about the usefulness of BackBox NVM when it comes to security best practices. The thing that jumped out at me is the difference in language between Risk Management and Threat Exposure Management.
Introduction: ransomware entry and propagation Network teams and the devices they manage are not the usual audience for discussions about ransomware. Ransomware affects endpoints and is often the purview of IT administrators and security teams.

Network Vulnerability Manager (NVM) is built specifically for network administrators and designed to help them prioritize OS updates based on actual, measured, risk to the organization. Updating devices sounds easy. Just update the software, right? Every vendor tool has that capability. It should be easy. It’s not. Partially because the quality of update tooling varies
When it comes to network security, we often think about vulnerabilities or exploits. About internal threats, and password compromises. We don’t often think about automation. Anything that can have a negative impact on network resiliency and its return to full operation after an ‘event’ relates to security. Automation helps keep your network humming along at
