Asset Attack Vectors: Building Effective Vulnerability Management Strategies to Protect Organizations

Build an effective vulnerability management strategy to protect your organization's assets, applications, and data.
Today's network environments are dynamic, requiring multiple defenses to mitigate vulnerabilities and stop data breaches. In the modern enterprise, everything connected to the network is a target. Attack surfaces are rapidly expanding to include not only traditional servers and desktops, but also routers, printers, cameras, and other IOT devices. It doesn't matter whether an organization uses LAN, WAN, wireless, or even a modern PAN-savvy criminals have more potential entry points than ever before. To stay ahead of these threats, IT and security leaders must be aware of exposures and understand their potential impact.
