Traditional vulnerability management is dependent on active scanners for vulnerability discovery, which can cause significant disruption to enterprise networks. In a large network with thousands of hosts, scans generate tens or hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities, presenting security analysts with an impossible prioritization task and elongating the vulnerability window of exposure by many weeks. Skybox next-generation vulnerability management uses scanless vulnerability detection to continuously monitor the attack surface and critical vectors, feeding vulnerability data into automated risk-based prioritization and remediation. This allows security teams to remediate critical vulnerabilities immediately, sealing off vulnerabilities that could lead to intrusion or data breach at least 50 times faster compared to traditional vulnerability management processes.
