Ivanti’s research report “Risk-Based Patch Prioritization” (ivanti.com/risk-based-patch) shows how why a risk-based approach to prioritization is crucial for effective patch prioritization and remediation. In this video, Chris Goettl, Ivanti’s Vice President of Product Management, describes how risk-based patch management allows companies to identify and address vulnerabilities that are actively being targeted and how to manage your remediation cycle to respond to high-priority issues first. As part of his expert advice, Goettl emphasizes the importance of parallel remediation tracks: routine maintenance, priority updates, and zero-day responses to ensure your systems are always secure and up to date. Key Points: Vendor Prioritization vs. Risk-Based Prioritization: Understand the limitations of vendor assessments and why a risk-based approach is more effective. Active Threats: Learn how to identify and prioritize the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. Remediation Cycle: Discover the importance of responding to high-priority items first and managing multiple tracks of remediation in parallel. Three Tracks of Remediation: Routine Maintenance: Regular updates that occur monthly, regardless of SLA. Priority Updates: Frequent updates for highly targeted applications like browsers and communication tools. Zero-Day Responses: Immediate action for newly discovered vulnerabilities. System Configuration: Ensure your systems are set up to handle continuous updates and maintain a robust security posture. By adopting a risk-based prioritization strategy, you can enhance your organization's security and stay ahead of potential threats.
