OWASP Vulnerability Management Guide (OVMG) - June 1, 2020
5
When rolling out an enterprise-wide vulnerability management program, start
with the critical assets, and then incrementally expand to all essential, or
secondary assets, and all other assets.
1.1.5
Embed vulnerability
management processes into
enterprise processes
Promote incremental change to fight any incumbent inertia (or a push back) at
your organization. Sometimes
it’s faster to build a new program on top of
existing processes and refining the processes as you go.
For example, by knowing the dates of the monthly patching window, you can
aid your engineering team by providing vulnerability analysis before patching
and after.
1.1.6
Build managerial
support
You must have a managerial buy-in because a vulnerability management
program will require the attention of several
departments and multiple
stakeholders. Make sure your management understands its importance and
supports the vulnerability management program. If not, please review 1.1.1
and do some additional reading on enterprise risk topics. No business leader
wants to incur losses.
End Goal: your management should give you sign-off on a specific vulnerability test in writing. Ideally, you should have
a vulnerability
management policy ready, but that might happen after you complete several rounds of OVMG. By
completing the Scope task, you should be able to explain to your management and your peers why vulnerability testing
is needed and how it benefits the business. You should be able to outline the next steps. You should
understand the
boundaries of vulnerability tests.
