"Organizations Still Struggle to Manage Vulnerability Patches, Report"

The results of a survey conducted by Tripwire to which 340 information security professionals responded, further highlight that many companies still fall short in the management of vulnerability patches. In addition, there is an insufficient visibility into the attack surface. While the majority of respondents said that their organizations run vulnerability scans, the performance of such scans was found to be infrequent. If vulnerability scans are not frequently performed, new vulnerabilities will be overlooked and assets connected to an organization's network may be inadequately managed. Half of the respondents also stated that their organizations only have enough bandwidth to focus on vulnerabilities considered to be highly severe. This article continues to discuss key findings of the survey in relation to vulnerability management trends.
