Roles

What is Vulnerability manager?

The person or team accountable for tracking known weaknesses and getting them fixed.

A vulnerability manager, or the vulnerability management team, tracks known weaknesses across the organisation's systems and drives them to resolution. The work includes scanning, prioritising, assigning fixes to owners and reporting progress.

Threat intelligence improves this work by saying which vulnerabilities attackers are actually exploiting, so the team can fix the dangerous few first instead of chasing every high CVSS score.
