Abstract

Vulnerability management helps you identify, assess, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities across your entire IT infrastructure, including endpoints, code, and cloud.

Notice

Requires the Cortex Cloud Posture Security, Cortex Cloud Runtime Security, Exposure Management, Cortex XSIAM Premium or ASM add-on.

Managing vulnerabilities effectively is crucial to proactively maintaining the security, integrity, and availability of IT infrastructure. Cortex XDR provides a comprehensive vulnerability management platform, helping you identify, assess, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities across your entire IT infrastructure, including endpoints, code, and cloud.

Cortex XDR leverages advanced detection techniques, real-time threat intelligence, and automated workflows to streamline the vulnerability management process. This allows your security team to focus on the most critical issues, reduce risk exposure, and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Cortex XDR helps identify and prevent vulnerabilities across the entire application lifecycle, while prioritizing risk for your cloud-native environments. Integrate vulnerability management into any CI process, while continuously monitoring, identifying, and preventing risks to all the hosts and images in your environment. Cortex XDR combines vulnerability detection with an always up-to-date threat feed and knowledge about your runtime deployments to prioritize risks specifically for your environment.

Note

Cortex XDR vulnerability management provides the ability to identify and assess runtime vulnerabilities in every asset across traditional IT and cloud environments. For vulnerabilities detected in your software development lifecycle through application security scans, refer to the Cortex Cloud Application Security documentation.Cortex Cloud Application Security
