Modern environments today are, well, complex. They often include a concoction of on-premises, cloud, container, and virtualization services. There’s a lot going on, and as a security pro, it’s your job to make sure your vulnerability management solution is dynamic enough to be quickly and easily deployed across all of these assets so you can see rapid time-to-value and ensure there is no stone left unturned.
But raise your hand if you’ve ever purchased a technology solution and found yourself saying, “I bet there are more features in here we could be using, but I’m just not sure what they are!” In a recent survey with InsightVM customers, we asked them to share their best tips for what to focus on in your first 90 days of using a vulnerability management solution.
