Description: Building a strong program based on mitigating known vulnerabilities has transformed from a security-centric process to an operational necessity for business success. Enterprises can build static perimeter defenses and scan for malicious code containing a known exploit, but the root cause of the problem is the existence of vulnerabilities in the corporate network. More than 80 percent of companies connected to the Internet experienced a disruption in business due to a worm or virus in 2003, even with ubiquitous antivirus deployments. Vulnerability management, the discovery of vulnerabilities and assessment of the risk to the network, is a critical part of both the security and business landscape that all enterprise security teams need to understand and implement for longterm success.
