    Vulnerability scanners can help determine patching policy. Once we know what vulnerabilities are exposed, we can make decisions about what can and cannot be tolerated in the network environment. Knowing our typical network behavior can highlight common activity that we might want to stop via policy or other tools. Both of these technologies provide visibility into network traffic. Network risk mapping can find vulnerable data and network device configurations and help us prioritize which issues to resolve first. Data can be based on defined nodes, directly vulnerable hosts, non-secured configuration of network equipment, and the end users most susceptible compromises.…
