Why Your “Perfect” Security Scans Are Actually a Comedy of Errors
Why your scans miss more than you think: It’s not that security teams are snoozing on the job—vulnerability management is just sneaky. One in every ten devices hasn’t been scanned, leaving a false sense of security. Don’t just rely on clean dashboards; dig deeper to ensure your defenses are truly comprehensive.
Hot Take:
Who knew that the “clean” dashboards of vulnerability management could be the ultimate optical illusion? Like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, security teams are pulling a sense of safety out of thin air. It’s time to stop watching the magic show and start checking the props behind the curtain!
Key Points:
- Vulnerability management dashboards often show incomplete data, leading to a false sense of security.
- Gaps in scanning typically occur due to devices being invisible on the network or lacking agents.
- Platforms lack features to easily identify never-scanned devices, leading to hidden risks.
- Failure to identify these gaps can result in costly breaches and compliance failures.
- A more robust, cross-platform approach is needed to identify and address these vulnerabilities.
