How can you prioritize vulnerabilities in ServiceNow?

Prioritizing vulnerabilities in ServiceNow is essential for effective vulnerability management. The correct approach involves assessing risk factors, which include asset value, exploitability, and Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores. By analyzing these factors, organizations can determine which vulnerabilities pose the greatest risk to their environment and should be addressed first.

Assessing asset value helps identify which assets are most critical to the organization’s operations, while exploitability evaluates how easy it is for an attacker to exploit a given vulnerability. The CVSS score provides a standardized measurement of the severity of vulnerabilities, taking into account factors such as the access vector, complexity of the attack, and the potential impact on the organization. Combining these elements allows for a more informed and systematic approach to prioritizing vulnerabilities based on their potential impact on the business.

This method of prioritization is more strategic and aligns with the organization's risk management goals, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to mitigate the most critical vulnerabilities first.
