What are Vulnerability Management Tools?
Vulnerability management tools scan enterprise networks for weaknesses that may be exploited by would-be intruders. Should the scan find a weakness, the vulnerability management tools suggest or initiate remediation action. In this way, vulnerability management tools reduce the potential impact of a network attack.
This approach to network security differs from firewalls, antivirus or antispyware software, and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). These security tools are designed to manage attacks on the network as they occur. In contrast, vulnerability management tools instead search for potential weaknesses and fix them in an attempt to mitigate potential future network attacks.
Vulnerability management tools initially assess the network using network and port scanners, IP scanners, etc. They then prioritize remediation so that the most significant issues are addressed first. The best practice is to allow vulnerability management tools to perform limited scans, and remediate weaknesses immediately to reduce the time to resolution. Conducting more extensive scans delays remediation while the scan completes and therefore leaves weaknesses found during the scan unattended until the scan is complete.
Remediation should happen quickly, and according to the vulnerability management tools’ prioritization schedule. Systematically eliminating network weaknesses reduces dependence on peripheral intrusion detection technologies. If a bad actor gains network access, attacks can be minimized by removing vulnerabilities intruders may encounter.
Vulnerability Managment tools can also offer a Privilege Elevation and Delegation Management feature. By effectively elevating and delegating privileges based on user roles, authorized individuals gain the necessary access while minimizing the risk of privilege abuse. This enhances security posture and prevents unauthorized lateral spread of threats.

Vulnerability Management Tools Comparison
Keep in mind the following factors when comparing vulnerability management tools:
- Industry. It’s important to note the industry each vendor is focused on targeting and assisting, given that many products in this category are industry-specific. As such, ensure that you’re selecting a product that was either built for your industry or meets any compliance and security standards that your industry is subject to.
- Implementation timing. Products in this category vary widely in how long they take to implement. Systems that have a long and complex implementation process could take up a lot of time for the user. Weigh the security benefits against the time it will take to receive them after purchasing.
- Business size. The size of your business may also play a factor in the right vulnerability management tools for your needs. Some may provide excellent scaling for small and large companies alike, while others cater to one or the other. Keep in mind the size of your business and the capabilities each vendor provides.
Pricing Information
Vulnerability management tool vendors typically offer customized solutions, and therefore it is best to contact the vendor directly for exact price details. Some will offer yearly subscription costs which may range from $1000 to $5000per year. For more advanced features such as malware and IOA behavioral protection, higher pricing packages will be offered. Vendors typically offer free trials.
