As organizations increasingly move workloads to the public cloud, their security processes must also evolve. Organizations must revise their existing vulnerability management processes to account for the changes introduced by the public cloud. This means understanding their part of the shared responsibility model, gaining visibility over workloads and data they are running in the cloud, identifying vulnerabilities and remediating them.
Cloud vulnerability management solutions are becoming a critical part of cloud security. They allow organizations to automate this process. These solutions provide vulnerability assessment, remediation, and reporting workflows that provide a single pane of glass view into an organization’s security hygiene efforts.
