Omdia released its 2023 Omdia Universe: Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Solutions report, and we’re excited to say that Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) is recognized as a Leader!
Risk-based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) builds upon the legacy vulnerability management market with stronger vulnerability prioritization and response. RBVM tackles the problem of determining which vulnerabilities pose a real risk in your environment and need to be patched versus which vulnerabilities you can safely de-prioritize. Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of traditional vulnerability management tasks to proactively and continuously reduce risk is the focus of RBVM solutions.

Analysis of the following RBVM capabilities for each vendor is included in the report: Data collection, threat intelligence, telemetry and storage, risk analytics, vulnerability resolution, deployment and management, and pricing and packaging.
Vendors are grouped into one of three categories:
- Market leaders understand the current threat landscape and the criticality of assets within each customer’s digital domain.
- Market challengers show good breadth in their solutions, but not always a depth of features in every area.
- Market prospects tend to be newer to the market and typically show strength in only a few of Omdia’s solution capability categories.
