SANS: Vulnerability Management Maturity in Containers and the Cloud

In this Rapid7-sponsored report, SANS analysts find that vulnerability management preparedness is on the rise and assess the state of maturity across traditional infrastructure, applications, containers and the cloud, but challenges still exist.

• Containers and the Cloud are the newest arenas - While they may lag in maturity right now, vulnerability management in containers and the cloud are likely to increase as best practices and tools improve and businesses show due priority.

• Better coordination and communication across teams - As the vulnerability management landscape continues to evolve, teams from IT to security, to business operations need to better align.

• Maturity is an investment of time and resources - As vulnerability management shifts away from on-prem infrastructure, organizations will need to invest time, money, and brainpower to understand where to focus efforts and how to measure success.
