Vulberability Management

Identify, assess and mitigate vulnerabilities

Vulnerability management is an ongoing process of identifying, prioritizing and remediating security flaws in your organization’s systems and software.

With the growing number of vulnerabilities, maintaining a proactive vulnerability management strategy is critical to mitigating risks and ensuring compliance with security standards.

Strengthen your defenses—identify, prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities with a proactive management approach.

Patch management

Patch management ensures that systems are always up-to-date with the latest security fixes. Timely patching is crucial to reducing the attack surface and protecting against known exploits.

Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:

➡️ Delayed or missed security patches exposing systems to known vulnerabilities

➡️ Patch deployment failures or errors leading to unprotected systems

➡️ Lack of visibility into which systems have been patched and which remain vulnerable

Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:

CQ Automation automates patch deployment, ensuring systems are patched as soon as updates become available.

Cyberquest SIEM provides continuous monitoring for missing patches and vulnerabilities, triggering alerts when patches are overdue or fail to deploy.

CQ AI Assistant assists in identifying systems that have not been patched, recommending immediate actions to reduce risk.

Prioritization of vulnerabilities

Not all vulnerabilities present the same level of risk, so prioritizing them based on severity, exploitability and impact is critical for effective remediation.

Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:

➡️ Attempting to address all vulnerabilities without considering their risk level

➡️ Focusing on low-risk vulnerabilities while critical ones remain unaddressed

➡️ Insufficient prioritization leading to slower remediation efforts and prolonged exposure

Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:

Cyberquest SIEM analyzes vulnerability data to provide risk-based prioritization, allowing security teams to focus on the most critical threats first.

CQ Threat Intelligence integrates threat intelligence to assess which vulnerabilities are being actively exploited by attackers in the wild, informing remediation strategies.

CQ AI Assistant can help you use machine learning to prioritize vulnerabilities based on contextual factors, such as asset value, exploitability, and potential damage.

Reporting & compliance

Compliance with industry standards and regulations is crucial for organizations to avoid penalties and ensure a strong security posture. Regular reporting on vulnerability management activities helps maintain visibility and ensure compliance.

Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:

➡️ Non-compliance with industry standards (e.g., PCI-DSS, HIPAA) due to overlooked vulnerabilities

➡️ Gaps in reporting leading to untracked remediation efforts

➡️ Lack of transparency and accountability during audits

Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:

Cyberquest SIEM generates comprehensive vulnerability management reports to maintain compliance with regulatory frameworks and security best practices.

CQ Automation automatically schedules and completes compliance checks, ensuring continuous alignment with industry regulations.

CQ AI Assistant can help you with detailed reports and actionable recommendations for maintaining compliance and tracking progress during audits.

Risk assessment & mitigation

Assessing the overall risk of a vulnerability and taking steps to mitigate it is an essential part of vulnerability management. Continuous evaluation and response help ensure systems remain secure over time.

Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:

➡️ Unclear risk assessments leading to inefficient use of resources

➡️ Overlooking residual risks after patching vulnerabilities

➡️ Insufficient mitigation plans that leave systems exposed

Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:

Cyberquest SIEM provides in-depth analysis of vulnerabilities and assesses risk levels to guide decision-making for mitigation actions.

CQ Automation creates automated workflows for applying mitigations such as network segmentation or temporary workarounds.

CQ AI Assistant offers AI-powered insights into the overall risk posture and provides actionable recommendations for long-term risk mitigation.

Vulnerability scanning & assessment

Regular vulnerability scans and assessments help identify weaknesses in systems, applications and networks before they can be exploited by attackers.

Top 3 Cybersecurity Risks:

➡️ Unpatched vulnerabilities leading to exploitations

➡️ Lack of visibility into systems or software that are outdated or improperly configured

➡️ Overlooking hidden vulnerabilities that can be targeted by advanced attackers

Top 3 Solutions with Nextgen products:

Cyberquest SIEM automates vulnerability scanning, identifying potential risks within your systems and generating actionable insights for remediation.

CQ Automation can schedules regular vulnerability scans and patches systems automatically based on risk severity.

CQ AI Assistant can help you analyze vulnerability scan data, providing prioritized lists of remediation actions based on risk analysis and context.
