Vulnerability Management
Sentinel's Vulnerability Management Program helps your organization identify and manage vulnerabilities in your systems and networks. A vulnerability management program is essential for organizations to maintain the security of your systems and protect sensitive information. Our comprehensive program consists of six phases:
1
Initial Assessment
The first step in a vulnerability management program is to assess the current state of your systems and networks. This includes identifying all external and internal assets, including hardware, software, and applications, Then, evaluating their security posture and identifying any potential vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. Sentinel will embed a small secure device to act as a platform for the program.
2
Vulnerability Scanning
Once all assets have been identified, the next step is to perform a vulnerability scan. Sentinel uses the latest tools and techniques to assess every single asset in your infrastructure to identify outdated systems, misconfigurations, the use of insecure protcols, and many other areas of potential risk.
3
Vulnerability Management
After the vulnerability scan is complete, the next step is to manage the vulnerabilities that were identified. This involves prioritizing the vulnerabilities based on the level of risk they pose and developing a plan to address each one. The plan should include specific steps to remediate the vulnerabilities and ensure that they are addressed in a timely manner.
4
Remediation
Once the plan has been developed, the next step is to implement the remediation activities. This may involve applying patches or upgrades, reconfiguring systems and applications, or deploying additional security measures. The remediation process should be monitored to ensure that all vulnerabilities are properly addressed and that there are no unintended consequences.
5
Ongoing Monitoring
After the remediation activities have been completed, it is important to monitor the systems and networks to ensure that the vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed. This includes regular vulnerability scans, security audits, and penetration testing. As part of Sentinel's program, your assets will continue to be re-scanned in entirety each month to search for the most recently discovered vulnerabilities and risks.
6
Reporting
The final step in a vulnerability management program is to provide regular reports to management and stakeholders. Sentinel's routine reports include information on the status of the program, the number of vulnerabilities identified and addressed, newly identified issues, and any risks that remain unmitigated. The reports also include recommendations for improving the program and ensuring the continued security of the systems and networks.
