Risk-based Vulnerability Management Combined With A Cyber Risk Management Platform | Qualys
Summary: An IDC report, Worldwide Device Vulnerability Management Forecast, 2023–2027: Evolving Beyond Scanning, states that vulnerability scanning is evolving into vulnerability management that will integrate attack surface management and cybersecurity asset management, and IDC's Michelle Abraham describes conventional VM solutions as in a stage of forced evolution. Qualys cites its own Threat Research Unit finding, drawn from over 2.3 billion observed vulnerabilities, that threat actors are about 2x faster than conventional security stakeholders, and states device vulnerability management is already used by 82.1% of U.S. organizations with more than 500 employees.
Bottom line: Qualys' own threat research, drawn from over 2.3 billion observed vulnerabilities, puts attackers at roughly twice the speed of the security teams defending against them - a gap that widens every time remediation waits on a spreadsheet handoff between security and IT.
