Overview

A continuous stream of threats and vulnerabilities increases the volume of security findings, making it challenging to determine which issues require immediate attention. It's essential to effectively filter, prioritize, and take action on the most critical issues to safeguard the organization’s security posture. Effective prioritization enables you to:

  • Effective Resource Utilization:
    Prioritization enables effective management of limited security resources by allocating them to address the most critical findings and focus on the most important assets. 
  • Better Risk Management:Scope the list of open critical findings and assets with various filters. Assess the risk impact to drive effective remediation and mitigation strategies. 
  • Timely Compliance:Many regulatory requirements mandate addressing critical vulnerabilities. Prioritization allows to focus on the critical vulnerabilities and assets complying with the regulatory requirements becomes easy.
