Data Sources
In the world of cybersecurity, staying ahead of threats requires a multifaceted approach. One of the cornerstones of a robust cybersecurity strategy is the effective utilization of data sources. This section covers various data sources, including vulnerability scans, automated reports, dashboards, and packet captures, and how they contribute to the security posture of organizations.
Vulnerability scans systematically probe your systems, applications, and networks to identify weaknesses that malicious actors could exploit. A vulnerability scan can advise cybersecurity on the following key areas:
- Identifying weak points: Vulnerability scans provide a comprehensive view of potential vulnerabilities within your systems, such as outdated software, misconfigurations, or known security flaws.
- Prioritizing remediation: By categorizing vulnerabilities based on severity, vulnerability scans help organizations prioritize which issues to address first. This data-driven...
