Implementing a well-designed vulnerability management practice can provide an organization with significant benefits. Overall, the practice helps to identify and prevent vulnerabilities from entering production code. For organizations that make frequent code changes or regularly roll out new features and applications, a proactive security approach is crucial. By automating vulnerability scanning as part of the software development life cycle, developers can release innovative features faster. Without the additional overhead of manual vulnerability scanning, teams can discover and remediate vulnerabilities during development. Similarly, by monitoring the runtime environment for vulnerabilities, organizations can identify and fix vulnerabilities that only become apparent in production.
