Practical Vulnerability Management
shows you how to weed out system security weaknesses and squash cyber threats
in their tracks.
Bugs: they're everywhere. Software, firmware, hardware -- they all have them.
Bugs even live in the cloud. And when one of these bugs is leveraged to wreak
havoc or steal sensitive information, a company's prized technology assets
suddenly become serious liabilities.
Fortunately, exploitable security weaknesses are entirely preventable; you
just have to find them before the bad guys do.
Practical Vulnerability Management
will help you achieve this goal on a budget, with a proactive process for
detecting bugs and squashing the threat they pose.
The book starts by introducing the practice of vulnerability management, its
tools and components, and detailing the ways it improves an enterprise's
overall security posture. Then it's time to get your hands dirty! As the
content shifts from conceptual to practical, you're guided through creating a
vulnerability-management system from the ground up, using open-source
software.
Along the way, you'll learn how to:
Generate accurate and usable vulnerability intelligence
Scan your networked systems to identify and assess bugs and vulnerabilities
Prioritize and respond to various security risks
Automate scans, data analysis, reporting, and other repetitive tasks
Customize the provided scripts to adapt them to your own needs
Playing whack-a-bug won't cut it against today's advanced adversaries. Use
this book to set up, maintain, and enhance an effective vulnerability
management system, and ensure your organization is always a step ahead of
hacks and attacks.
