UBC is committed to safeguarding its digital ecosystem and ensuring the utmost protection for its students, faculty, and staff. To achieve this goal, we are thrilled to introduce our comprehensive Vulnerability Management Solution (VMS) for servers.
The primary goal of the service is to reduce the overall risk to UBC’s information technology infrastructure by addressing potential weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors. Vulnerabilities can include software bugs, misconfigurations, security holes, and other weaknesses that may be targeted by attackers. The VMS helps to identify, evaluate, and prioritize actionable security vulnerabilities in UBC servers. Once identified, the VMS provides detailed guidance on how to fix security vulnerabilities. It also validates their work by providing feedback to IT Administrators confirming they have successfully fixed their vulnerabilities. Various vulnerability workflows like reporting false positives and mitigations are also a major feature of the service.
Features and Benefits
Feature | Benefits |
Comprehensive Scanning | Using state-of-the-art scanning tools and methodologies we proactively identify vulnerabilities in UBC servers. We are always on the lookout for security gaps that might expose sensitive data to risk. |
Risk Prioritization | Not all vulnerabilities are created equal. Our program utilizes a rigorous risk assessment process that factors in severity, threat intelligence, potential impact, and asset value to prioritize identified vulnerabilities. By focusing on the most critical vulnerabilities first, we maximize the effectiveness of our remediation efforts. |
Continuous Monitoring | Cybersecurity is an ongoing battle. The VMS doesn't stop at initial scans and remediation. We understand that new vulnerabilities can emerge at any time. That's why we maintain continuous monitoring to detect and respond to emerging threats and evolving security challenges. |
Vulnerability Data Aggregation | Aggregating different sources of vulnerability data into one. |
Vulnerability Management Workflows | Supports multiple vulnerability management workflows like reporting false positives and mitigations.
