The Common Vulnerability Scoring System: Get your threat priorities right

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System: Get your threat priorities right

Over the years, I’ve seen and used a diverse range of methods to evaluate and explain the risks associated with a particular security threat or vulnerability. Depending on the audience and the nature of the environment being evaluated, there has always been – and always will be – a frequent need to reclassify the severity of a finding. This is particularly relevant when making use of findings derived from automated security tools.

Get it together

Whether you have a SOX problem or a HIPAA ailment, it is becoming more tempting to enlist a SIM. But beware what you’re buying into. Vendors are heavily hyping their security incident management (SIM) wares as the cure-all for meeting regulatory compliance standards such as the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Acts (HIPAA). If anything, they’re half right.
