Many organizations assume their vulnerability management (VM) program is comprehensive—but is it really? According to Mieng Lim, VP of Product Management at Fortra, incomplete VM scans are a common issue, often due to budget constraints, time limitations, or overlooked assets. The Verizon DBIR reports a threefold increase in vulnerability exploitation from 2023 to 2024, making full network coverage more critical than ever. Printers, workstations, networking devices, and lesser-used subnets are often ignored—leaving dangerous blind spots in security. Cybersecurity is shifting toward more visibility and broader scope. Ensure your network isn’t vulnerable—start prioritizing comprehensive VM today: https://lnkd.in/eutvUfFs #Cybersecurity #VulnerabilityManagement

?? Compliance ≠ Security. Many organizations pass audits but still face critical security risks. Christopher Reffkin, Fortra’s Chief Security and Risk Officer, explains in Help Net Security why compliance should be a starting point—not the finish line: “Compliance is a useful tool to measure progress against a specific set of requirements, but it’s not the finish line regarding security.” The key? Go beyond checkboxes. Treat compliance as a baseline, continuously test security controls, and align security with real business risks.
