have had to adopt a greater online presence.

Rapid7 has always talked about the power

of digital transformation, and COVID-19 has

accelerated that faster than any of us could

have predicted,” says Grangard.

Summarising the qualities of a strong

vulnerability management strategy, both

Sitcawich and Grangard highlight the

importance of regarding security as a collection

of individual activities that merge into one

holistic solution. “One of the key takeaways

is the importance of securing every layer of

your modern attack surface,” says Sitcawich.

“Not just network infrastructure, but also the

cloud and web applications. There needs

to be visibility over all of it so that you can

prioritise effectively and remediate efficiently,

especially as new technologies come into

play.” Therefore, Rapid7’s vulnerability risk

management tools empower companies to

achieve the requisite level of understanding,

confidence and agility to thrive in an

increasingly complex cyber threat landscape.

“We all need to think about scaling security

simultaneously with some of these newly

adopted technologies,” concludes Grangard.

“It's not just traditional devices anymore;

there's so many different layers that must be

considered now.”
