Why Do I Need Vulnerability Management?

VC3’s managed services already provides you with patch management along with many baseline cybersecurity tools and best practices. So why would you need vulnerability management?

Every organization has different needs. To assess if vulnerability management is a fit for you, the following table outlines the differences between patch management and vulnerability management.

Patch Management

Vulnerability Management

Fixes known vulnerabilities once patches are available.

Identifies and prioritizes a more comprehensive set of security gaps before attackers exploit them.

Focus is on software updates for vendor-supported applications.

Focus is on all security weaknesses: unpatched software, misconfigurations, zero-day threats, etc.

No protection against zero-day threats—patches are applied when available.

Can identify and mitigate zero-day risks even when no patch is available.

Limited visibility—only tracks software updates.

Comprehensive view of misconfigurations, outdated systems, and emerging threats.

In complex IT environments, non-patching vulnerabilities multiply and may not be addressed proactively.

Vulnerabilities are comprehensively and regularly identified across multiple servers, applications, and cloud services.

While VC3’s security tools included with our managed services protect against known threats, our vulnerability management solution goes deeper into your environment to identify additional vulnerabilities potentially exposed to cyberattackers before an attack happens.

How Vulnerability Management Works

  • Step 1: Scan for Vulnerabilities

    Internal and external scans are performed at regular intervals, usually determined by any compliance frameworks to which you must adhere (such as CJIS, CMMC, HIPAA, PIPEDA, etc.). Internal scans focus on devices inside your network (such as servers, workstations, databases, etc.) while external scans focus on internet-facing systems (such as firewalls, web or email servers, and cloud services).

  • Step 2: Review and Prioritize Risks

    VC3 reviews the results of the scans and prioritizes any risks, especially noting those risks which are critical or high.

  • Step 3: Create an Action Plan to Address Risks

    VC3 will create an action plan to address and mitigate the risks within a specific time period, working within your compliance framework if needed.

  • Step 4: Remediate Risks

    Every risk is different. Methods of remediation will include standard patching, configuration changes, additional security controls (such as network segmentation or access controls), and special projects (for complicated fixes).

What Our Clients Are Saying

We hadn’t seen anyone like VC3 before.

I was pleasantly surprised by VC3’s remote IT support and how well it served our city. We learned the hard way that we needed a vendor that helped us stay secure from ransomware and cyberattacks, update and patch everything constantly, and stay on top of IT issues. With VC3, everything is getting done. You don’t know what you’re missing if you’ve never seen it before—and we hadn’t seen anyone like VC3 before.
