Threat & Vulnerability Management

What Is Threat & Vulnerability Management?

Threat & Vulnerability Management (TVM) is a comprehensive approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating security risks. It involves the identification of potential threats and vulnerabilities, the assessment of their likelihood and impact, and the implementation of controls to reduce or eliminate the risk they pose.

Description

TVM combines threat intelligence, vulnerability scanning, risk prioritization, and remediation tracking into a continuous program. Rather than treating vulnerability management as a point-in-time activity, TVM treats it as an ongoing cycle that keeps pace with the changing threat landscape and evolving attack surface.

Usage and Examples

Organizations use TVM programs to maintain a current inventory of known vulnerabilities, track remediation progress, and demonstrate security improvements to leadership and auditors. TVM tools include vulnerability scanners, asset management platforms, and threat intelligence feeds that together provide a prioritized view of risk.

Evolve Security's penetration testing services complement vulnerability management programs by providing manual validation and exploitation of identified vulnerabilities to confirm real-world impact.
