“A single view will give you a posture of not just application vulnerabilities but also is able to give some business context," he says. "This is something which is lacking today. And even if it is there, it is on an Excel sheet and is not updated.”

In a video interview previewing an upcoming Information Security Media Group virtual roundtable, Mahendru also discusses:

  • How to prioritize vulnerabilities;
  • How to link vulnerability management to governance and compliance;
  • The components of a good vulnerability management plan.

Mahendru, solutions architect, security and risk, at ServiceNow, has more than 19 years' experience in cybersecurity and GRC. Previously, he worked at Symantec, Trend Micro and RSA. He was also a part of the IT team at Reliance Industries.
