OWASP Vulnerability Management Guide (OVMG) - June 1, 2020
6
Business email security tests, or phishing tests, are a way to engage the
critical thinking of users and prevent click fatigue. SE tests are not very
common but have been found to be a very effective way to raise self-
awareness in employees. Note, retraining should be preceded by formal
information security training.
1.2.2
Determine the frequency of
your security tests
The scope should provide the input based on legal, regulatory, and contractual
requirements that your organization must comply with. The most popular
compliance framework for vulnerability management is PCI DSS.
1.2.3
Ensure the latest
vulnerability feed
Subscribe to
“patch Tuesday” emails from all your major vendors. Subscribe to
the full disclosure database and other feeds where you can track all new
CVEs. Ask the tool vendor how long it takes to update vulnerability definitions
in their feed; it could be up to 1 or 2 weeks from the patch release.
1.2.4
Check if vulnerability
exceptions exist
If you inherited the vulnerability scanner tool, make sure that some
vulnerabilities are not exempt from showing up on the report.
1.2.5
Test your tool for integrity
You can scan your computer or other devices you are well
familiar with and
have access to. Cross-reference the output from your scanner with what is
actually on the device. Does your scanner properly fingerprint your operating
system or enumerate all URLs of a Web application? Were all applications
running on your device enumerated?
Alternatively, you can use the OWASP vulnerable applications to assess if you
correctly set up your dynamic scanner for application tests. Check out the
OWASP Juice shop or the OWASP Mutillidae.
1.2.6
Adjust your tools
’ settings,
preferences, templates
Start safe and small, observe results, then increment and observe again. What
is different? Does it add any value? Read help and feedback provided by the
community around these security testing tools. Ensure that you are not inside
your own bubble.
End Goal: you should be able to adjust your tools to fulfill the scoped objectives.
1.3
Run Tests
