Vulnerability Management for Every Environment
Modern organizations encompass more than traditional data centers, so security teams must defend an attack surface that is borderless over time. Tripwire Vulnerability Management goes where you go and scales along with you.
The Vulnerability Management Process
The vulnerability management process is built around scanning network-connected systems, finding open ports and services, and correlating the results with known common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). VM applies to traditional, cloud, and mobile software.
This essential security control must be approached as a continuous process, as new CVEs occur every day. Therefore, it’s best to think of VM as a repeating cycle between the primary activities of detecting, evaluating, prioritizing, and remediating software vulnerabilities.
Manual vulnerability scanning puts a strain on resources, resulting in digitally mature organizations relying on automated solutions to continuously detect and score vulnerabilities as they appear.
Types of Vulnerability Scans
Vulnerability scans do more than just detect CVEs and other exploitable system weaknesses. VM scanning is a multi-step, continuous process, with specific types of scans run for various purposes and environments, including:
Discovery scans determine what assets are connected to the network, along with software versions, to aid in the inventory process to give you infrastructure visibility
Database, network, web application, port, and cloud scans search for vulnerabilities within those specific environments to gauge vulnerability risk
Internal and external vulnerability scans demonstrate overall vulnerability risk in internet-facing versus internal networks
Agent-based and agentless vulnerability scans can be used in tandem to gain a more comprehensive understanding of your organization’s risk profile

Vulnerability Management Case Studies
Major Bank Case Study
With 90,000 employees and a base of over 20 million customers all over the world, this major bank needed the advanced VM coverage Tripwire IP360 provides. It’s a challenge to adopt cloud infrastructure to secure those environments due to the elasticity and short lifespan of servers, as well as the ever-growing presence of containers. Now, virtual images are assessed for configuration compliance and checked for over 130,000 vulnerabilities before they ever hit the deployment pipeline.
State Agency
The State of Minnesota's Office of Enterprise Technology (OET) was established with a charter to deliver efficient, economical government solutions. OET needed to exert more centralized control over the IT infrastructure and establish security as an enterprise-class process. With Tripwire's vulnerability management solution, OET reduced redundancies among the state agencies' security programs and improved insight into security risk with metrics that deliver comparative results among state agencies.
