Leverage vulnerability management infused with continuous penetration testing and red team exercises to provide a deeper focus on genuine business risk.
The explosion of digital adoption has rapidly increased threat surfaces, making managing the infrastructure’s vulnerabilities more challenging. Enterprises spend too much time remediating and patching non-business critical systems, leaving their higher-risk systems vulnerable.
Persistent’s data and application security services offer a well-rounded risk-based vulnerability management framework that expands beyond the legacy approach of discovering, identifying, analyzing, and remediating vulnerabilities. It takes a holistic approach, accounting for business impact, risk, and asset categorization to arrive at a business-aligned risk score.
Persistent’s approach implements an additional enrichment phase after vulnerability discovery. This phase includes asset categorization aligned to business contextualization enabling enterprises to prioritize and automate the remediation process.
