Frequently asked questions
Is it the same as a penetration test?
No. Vulnerability management is continuous and broad; a penetration test is a one-time, in-depth exercise that simulates an attacker.
How often should vulnerabilities be reviewed?
It depends on asset criticality. As a general practice, internet-facing systems require frequent review and priority remediation.
