Despite
lack of proper skillset, management funding and more,
it is however interesting to see that, stakes around and
related to threat and Vulnerability
Management (VM) are increasingly appropriated within companies and
organizations of all sizes.
There is a need to design, develop, and deploy more secure
software with capabilities that go beyond the scope of traditional VM
solutions.
Therefore, it is indispensable to recall that, vulnerability
assessment (VA) is a key component of a VM program; and the best VM solution is
one that integrates well with third-party technologies and includes
capabilities for asset management, configuration management, patch management,
VA, remediation, reporting, and monitoring.
For those who are unfamiliar, among vulnerability management solutions, we
have the IBM QRadar Security Intelligence Platform, Barracuda Vulnerability
Manager, AlienVault Unified Security Management solution, and Rapid7 Nexpose
6.0.
ABI Research expects cloud computing and big data to drive the
global threat and Vulnerability Management (VM) market to increase from its
current standing at $5.8 billion in revenue in 2015 to $8.6 billion by 2020.
ABI Research calculates the overall software security testing market to
grow to $6.9 billion by 2020.
