Vulnerability Management
Having the vulnerability list doesn't help if no one works through it. We prioritize by real risk and follow through on closing it, not just reporting it.
- Continuous scanning
- Risk-based prioritization
- Patching
- Inventory
The breach almost always comes in through something already patched elsewhere.
Attackers don't need a new vulnerability: a known one that's gone unpatched for months is enough. The problem is rarely finding it — it's deciding which of the three thousand items in the report actually matters to your operation, and getting someone to close it.
- The last scan was done by an outside auditor and ended up in a PDF.
- There's no reliable inventory of what's exposed to the internet.
- Patches get applied whenever there is time, with no priority criteria.
What the layer includes
Every component is implemented, configured, and left under SOC watch. We don't hand over bare licenses.
Continuous scanning
Internal and internet-facing, with an inventory that updates itself instead of aging between audits.
Risk-based prioritization
Cross-referencing severity, real exposure, and active exploitation. A short, actionable list, not three thousand lines.
Assisted patching
Automatic where it's safe, with an agreed window where it isn't. With follow-up verification that it actually closed.
Closure tracking
Every finding has an owner, a date, and a status. What can't be patched is documented with a compensating control.
The layer isn't installed and forgotten.
Everything this layer generates flows into the SIEM, gets correlated with the rest of the stack, and is reviewed by an analyst on shift. What follows is the same across all nine layers.
Classified in under a minute
The Triage Agent reviews every event that comes in, at any hour, and discards the noise before it reaches a person.
Confirmed by an analyst
The decision to contain, isolate, or escalate is made by a person with context on your operation, not an automation.
It gets logged
Every action on this layer enters the period's report, with time, owner, and outcome.
- Prioritized list of open findings with owner and date.
- Period-over-period risk trend.
- Closure evidence for audits.
This layer within the nine
No layer requires the others. Most of our clients start with two or three and move forward based on their reality.
What people ask about this layer
Does scanning affect operations?
It's scheduled in agreed windows, and sensitive systems are scanned in non-intrusive mode.
Do you apply the patches or just report them?
Depends on the model you contract. We can report, assist, or execute directly on the systems you authorize.
Does it cover cloud and containers?
Yes, in addition to servers and workstations. Scope is defined in the initial assessment.
How often is it scanned?
The internet-facing inventory, continuously. Internal systems, on weekly or monthly cycles depending on criticality.
