The Role of Asset Inventory Accuracy in Vulnerability Remediation Effectiveness
Santosh Kumar Kande
Abstract: In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, vulnerability remediation is a critical process to mitigate potential cyber threats. The effectiveness of vulnerability management relies heavily on the accuracy of an organization's asset inventory. An up - to - date, complete, and accurate asset inventory provides the foundation for timely and precise vulnerability identification, prioritization, and remediation. This paper explores the profound connection between asset inventory accuracy and vulnerability remediation effectiveness, addressing the challenges organizations face in maintaining accurate inventories and outlining strategies to enhance inventory management practices. Ultimately, the paper underscores the need for improved asset tracking, automated solutions, and continuous reconciliation to ensure effective vulnerability management and organizational resilience against cyber threats.
