Introduction to Enterprise Vulnerability Management
To survive, prosper and effectively compete, Enterprises are being driven to meet growing demands for additional services, such as web-enabling,
mobile operations, and the ability to interoperate with related services around the world.
At the same time, these services are being subjected to a growing spectrum of threats that have to be understood and countered to effectively
manage Enterprise security, safety and dependability risks.
To assess, plan and implement required vulnerability management capabilities, Enterprises need trusted, authoritative guidance, beyond the self
serving claims of proprietary product and service suppliers.
S/TDC's services use government approved processes, implemented with technologies selected for compatibility with current Enterprise systems,
to significantly reduce the risk of costly disruptions to mission critical Enterprise capabilities. Supporting processes capitalize on the
combined knowledge base of key S/TDC and Enterprise personnel to:
- Identify both internal and outsourced services that mission critical Enterprise capabilities depend on,
- Implement integrated security, dependability and safety assessments of these supporting services, throughout their life cycles, and the
- Planning, implementation and management of responsive, cost effective, Enterprise defenses.
Each of the above tasks is also integral to the process of delivering effective Continuity of Operations (COOP) solutions in an enterprise. By exploiting the synergies that are inherent in these processes, COOP solutions will ensure the continued delivery of the specified end-to-end application Quality of Service (QoS) that enterprises depend on.
In addition to reducing the probability of disruptions to critical Enterprise services, these tasks can be used to both lower insurance costs and
to reduce corporate liabilities, by providing documented evidence that management has met its risk management obligations.
