Technology explained

What is Vulnerability Management?

Vulnerability management is the continuous process of discovering, assessing, prioritising and remediating exploitable weaknesses. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.

It combines asset inventory, scanning, threat and exposure context, ownership, treatment and verification. Raw severity scores are insufficient on their own; reachable attack paths, business criticality and compensating controls determine practical priority.
