The calculus for disaster recovery and risk management is changing. Most small businesses within the past decade would often keep many of their critical technology assets locally, perhaps in a server closet, or a centralized data center for multiple offices. They built their own “vault” of applications, databases, email, files, etc., often on a few physical servers they would be wholly responsible for maintaining and eventually upgrading or replacing.
You can’t go a week without seeing a story about a data breach or ransomware hitting organizations. These breaches can be very costly, but they still continue to show up.

As one of the most important practices of cyber security, vulnerability management is not a one step process. It must keep evolving in accordance with your network’s growth. That is why we will take a closer look at vulnerability management lifecycle in this article. Vulnerability management is one of the pillars of cyber security. It helps your organization to have a stronger cyber security and allows your security team to better handle with potential attacks.
