What is a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score?

CVSS scores come from a standardized framework for assessing and communicating the severity of security vulnerabilities. In short, CVSS scores help security professionals prioritize and address vulnerabilities based on the severity they pose to systems and data.

What is risk-based vulnerability management?

Risk-based Vulnerability management prioritizes the remediation of vulnerabilities based on their potential impact on an organization's security posture and overall risk profile. Instead of treating all vulnerabilities equally, the primary focus is on identifying and addressing the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to the organization's assets, operations, and reputation.

What is identity access management?

Identity access management is the process of managing and controlling digital identities and their access to various resources within an organization's IT infrastructure. The primary goal of IAM is to ensure that the right individuals have appropriate access to the right resources at the right times, while also preventing unauthorized access.

What is data discovery and classification?

Data discovery is the process of scanning your entire environment to find and identify where both structured and unstructured data resides. Data classification is the process of identifying the types of data that a business has discovered, and then tagging that data to organize it into categories based on file type, content and other metadata.
