Vulnerabilities are defined as errors or weaknesses within a software program, network, application, or endpoint that enable an unauthorized user to access sensitive data, gain control, or deny access to authorized users. At a high level, Frost & Sullivan defines vulnerability management (VM) as a platform that offers vulnerability assessment; and the results of the assessment trigger a remediation response. Vulnerability Management is the practice of periodically examining information systems (including but not limited to operating systems, subsystems such as database management systems, applications, and network devices) to discover exploitable vulnerabilities, related analysis, and prioritizing decisions about remediation.
