Vulnerability Management & Exposure Reduction

Find the weaknesses.Fix what matters first.

Continuous, risk-based vulnerability management using Qualys or Tenable—implemented and operated by certified Vectra specialists.

Vectra helps organisations discover assets, assess vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, prioritise risk, coordinate remediation and demonstrate measurable improvement across IT, cloud, identity, network and operational environments.

Strategic platform partnerships and certified operational capability QUALYSTENABLEVECTRA SONAR
A continuous security programme

Vulnerability management is more than running scans.

A mature programme maintains asset visibility, uses authenticated assessment, applies business and threat context, drives remediation and verifies that risk has actually been reduced.

01

Discover

Identify known, unknown, unmanaged, cloud and externally exposed assets.

02

Assess

Use agents, scanners, connectors and authenticated checks to identify weaknesses.

03

Prioritise

Combine severity, exploitability, asset criticality and active threat context.

04

Remediate

Assign owners, integrate workflows and coordinate patching or mitigation.

05

Validate

Rescan, measure outcomes and demonstrate continuous risk reduction.

Supported platforms

Qualys or Tenable—selected for the requirement.

Vectra partners with both vendors and maintains certified specialists capable of designing, deploying and operating each platform.

Qualys VMDR + Enterprise TruRisk

Integrated discovery, risk and remediation.

Qualys is a strong fit where organisations want a broad cloud platform combining asset inventory, vulnerability management, risk scoring, configuration, compliance and integrated patching.

  • Continuous asset inventory and cloud agents
  • Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response
  • Qualys TruRisk prioritisation and measurement
  • Authenticated and agent-based assessment
  • Policy compliance and configuration assessment
  • Integrated patch-management capability
Typical fitOrganisations seeking a unified cloud platform with strong agent coverage, integrated remediation and detailed compliance reporting.
Tenable Vulnerability Management + Tenable One

Vulnerability management that scales to exposure.

Tenable is a strong fit where organisations want broad vulnerability coverage and a pathway to unified exposure visibility across IT, cloud, identity, OT, AI and external attack surfaces.

  • Agent, scanner and cloud-based assessment
  • Vulnerability Priority Rating and threat context
  • Asset discovery and risk-based prioritisation
  • Cloud, identity and external exposure options
  • Attack-path and business-context analysis
  • Tenable One exposure-management pathway
Typical fitOrganisations requiring extensive vulnerability coverage or evolving toward enterprise exposure management across a diverse attack surface.
Coverage across the attack surface

Understand more than operating-system vulnerabilities.

IT Assets

Endpoints, servers and network devices

Assess operating systems, applications, appliances and infrastructure using agent and scanner-based methods.

Cloud

Workloads and configuration exposure

Discover cloud assets, vulnerabilities, public exposure, configuration weaknesses and deployment risk.

Identity

Permissions and identity exposure

Extend beyond CVEs to understand excessive privilege, identity weaknesses and exploitable access paths.

External

Internet-facing attack surface

Identify exposed systems, services and unmanaged assets that can be discovered by external attackers.

OT + IoT

Non-traditional connected assets

Improve visibility across operational technology, printers, cameras, phones and other non-agent systems.

Compliance

Security configuration and evidence

Assess technical controls against benchmarks and support PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and other assurance requirements.

Vectra services

From initial assessment to continuous operation.

Assessment

Vulnerability-program review

Assess current tooling, coverage, scan quality, remediation performance, reporting and governance.

Architecture

Platform and sensor design

Design scanner placement, cloud agents, connectors, network access, segmentation and authentication.

Implementation

Qualys or Tenable deployment

Configure the tenant, users, assets, tags, sensors, scan policies, dashboards and integrations.

Optimisation

Authenticated scan improvement

Increase assessment depth, reduce false results and improve asset coverage and data quality.

Prioritisation

Risk and asset context

Develop asset-criticality rules, risk models, remediation SLAs and targeted operational dashboards.

Integration

ITSM, patching and security workflows

Connect findings to ticketing, asset management, endpoint tools, SIEM and operational owners.

Remediation

Finding triage and coordination

Validate findings, identify compensating controls and coordinate patching, configuration or mitigation.

Reporting

Executive and operational visibility

Measure exposure, ageing, SLA performance, exceptions, business-unit ownership and risk reduction.

Exposure

Move beyond vulnerability management

Expand into continuous exposure management covering attack paths, identities, cloud and external risk.

Managed through SONAR

A platform operated by people who know how to use it.

SONAR can manage the ongoing vulnerability programme using your existing Qualys or Tenable environment, or a platform supplied and implemented by Vectra.

CoveragePlatform and sensor monitoring

Monitor agent deployment, scanners, connectors, credentials and assessment coverage.

OperationsScan and policy management

Maintain schedules, policies, tags, asset groups, exclusions and authenticated assessments.

RiskPrioritisation and triage

Focus teams on exploitable weaknesses affecting critical systems and business services.

RemediationWorkflow and owner coordination

Assign findings, support remediation teams and track progress against agreed service levels.

ValidationRescanning and exceptions

Confirm remediation, manage accepted risk and maintain evidence for unresolved findings.

ReportingMeasured risk reduction

Provide operational and executive reporting on coverage, ageing, trends and outcomes.
