Most IT security teams still think remediating CVEs or software vulnerabilities is enough to achieve a perfect security posture. However, there are numerous other vulnerabilities that are as threatening as software vulnerabilities, such as misconfigurations, IT asset exposures, missing patches, security control deviations, and much more.  According to stats, more than 50% of detected vulnerabilities don’t have CVEs assigned!

In recent times, it is evident that attackers are not missing out on even the tiniest of security loopholes in the network, and any vulnerability can bring massive havoc to organizations’ security. To prevent sophisticated cyberattacks and minimize risk exposure, IT security teams must actively look out vulnerability management tools.
