Rootshell Security Shares Best Practices for Vulnerability Management
Jan 12, 2023
Best practices for vulnerability management include streamlining processes, risk-based prioritisation, threat intelligence, and creating a central hub of data, to name a few.
Basingstoke,United Kingdom - January 12, 2023 /PressCable/ —
For organisations striving to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in their infancy for the fastest end-to-end security, leveraging a high-end vulnerability management solution is a sensible business investment.
However, for a vulnerability management program to be truly effective, it should be developed following the ‘tried and tested’ best practices.
To help build an effective vulnerability management program, Rootshell Security, the cybersecurity giant, guides enterprises through the best practices.
Vulnerability management is the end-to-end cyclic process of proactively tracking down, prioritising, and addressing flaws within a company’s network that could expose its most critical assets.
It’s an ongoing process that starts with identifying security issues followed by vulnerability assessment report consolidation, potential risk, and impact evaluation, vulnerability prioritization, and remediation and reassessing the success of the executed process.
Offering a framework for ensuring complete visibility while allowing IT security teams to assert more control over security weaknesses, a vulnerability management program helps continuously augment a company’s security posture.
That said, failing to dig out security threats can make organizations extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks. The ramification of a cyberattack could result in the exposure of business-critical data, negative brand equity, lower rate of customer retention, and ultimately, reduced ROI.
Today, cybercriminals work round-the-clock to exploit any opportunity to infiltrate a target company, says Rootshell.
Implementing vulnerability management best practices is essential to address critical issues as fast as possible and before hackers can exploit them maliciously.
Continuous vulnerability management practices can help IT security teams close the gaps between security assessments, thus significantly reducing risk.
Rootshell stresses the importance of integrating threat intelligence with a company’s vulnerability management lifecycle. By offering IT security teams data-driven context and situational awareness, cyber threat intelligence helps them stay focused on and ahead of the most impactful security threats.
In addition, organizations must try to continuously streamline their processes, fix any bottlenecks and improve each stage of the vulnerability management lifecycle by leveraging quality software.
Consolidating all assessment results into a central hub followed by executing risk-based prioritization is vital for efficiently managing the remediation of security weaknesses while locking bad actors out, explains Rootshell.
The cybersecurity giant urges organizations to use class-leading vulnerability management software that can enable IT security teams to implement the best practices easily.
Such a system can facilitate prioritization, delegation, reporting, tracking, and collaboration for accelerated remediation.
Aligned with the Gartner Vulnerability Management Cycle, Prism Platform by Rootshell Security is a next-generation vulnerability management program that enables organisations to adopt best practice vulnerability management processes effortlessly.
This vendor-neutral vulnerability management program is committed to fortifying an organisation’s resistance to cyberattacks while significantly decreasing the remediation time.
A CREST-accredited system, Prism creates a single database for all reports from third-party assessment software in a standard format. As a result, it becomes easier for companies to break through data silos, save time on manual data admin and resolve all critical issues across their estates.
With Rootshell’s state-of-the-art Daily Exploit Detection, Prism aids in prioritising by sending daily alerts and adding context to critical issues.
Furthermore, offering live updates from tests and sending uninterrupted cyber threat intelligence alerts specific to a company’s digital estate, Prism helps gain real-time insight into its threat landscape.
To quote a client, “Prism gives me the visibility to easily understand issues, approve projects, and collaborate with colleagues, so that our remediation process is as streamlined as possible. Prism is incredibly intuitive for non-technical leaders like me. The tooltips and training make it really easy to get the most out of the platform from the get-go.”

Asian Games: Hong Kong’s men make it a hat-trick of rugby sevens golds, women win bronze
There are very few certainties in life, although Hong Kong’s men winning rugby sevens gold at the Asian Games could well be one of them. A 26-0 win over China on Saturday sealed a third consecutive title for the city’s team at the Games, and it is now 12 years since they last lost a match at the multi-sport event. Their mainland opponents had already been beaten 22-0 in a Pool A game on Friday, and a first-half double from Harry Sayers ended any threat of an upset. Bryn Phillips added a third,...
No draw fears for Jamie Richards as Lahore bids for a straight-track hat-trick at Sha Tin
Jamie Richards thinks an inside draw could actually help rather than hinder Lahore as he goes for a straight-track hat-trick in the Class Three Shing Mun Handicap (1,000m) at Sha Tin on Sunday. The son of Hellbent has had his share of issues, requiring throat surgery in July 2025 and then bleeding from both nostrils in February of this year, but he roared back to life when returning in May, decimating a Class Four field by two and a half lengths. He backed that up with a gutsy success from a...
Asian Games: windsurfers’ golden double takes Hong Kong to record medal haul
Hong Kong windsurfers Wong Tsz-ho and Cheung Tsz-yuet both won Asian Games titles on Saturday, taking the city’s gold medal count into double figures for the first time since its athletes started competing in the multi-sport event in 1954. With Coleman Wong Chak-lam’s triumph in the men’s singles little more than an hour earlier securing a record-equalling eighth gold, victory on the water made it nine and 10 for the delegation in Japan. Not even a lack of wind at Kaiyoh Yacht Harbor could spoil...
David Eustace bids to continue momentum with strong Sha Tin team on Sunday
Still basking in the glow of Group Three glory on Thursday, David Eustace is keen to continue his momentum with a strong team of eight runners at Sha Tin on Sunday. The British trainer claimed his second Group Three success in Hong Kong when Colourful King cruised to victory in the National Day Cup (1,000m) under Zac Purton. Bidding to add to that success, Eustace is confident in his dirt representatives on the mixed 11-race card, which include Loch Tay and Definitive in the feature Class Two...
Asian Games: cool, calm Coleman Wong says winning gold akin to ‘unlocking an achievement’
Siobhan Haughey called “pressure a privilege” on her way to adding yet more Asian Games gold to an already glittering resume – anyone watching Coleman Wong Chak-lam win his historic men’s singles title on Saturday might have been left wondering if he even knows what pressure is. The Hongkonger needed just one chance to wrap up a straight sets victory over China’s Wu Yibing, and for all the world looked as though he was just firing down aces on the practice court, and not on the verge of doing...
Fifa president Gianni Infantino in Hong Kong with city team set for Cambodia Asean final
A Hong Kong team “in transition” will battle upwardly mobile and ambitious Cambodia on Saturday for the unremarkable honour of being crowned Fifa Asean Challenge Cup champions. Although the city team copped some flak for their performance in a 2-0 victory over Brunei on Wednesday, having trounced the same opponents 10-0 three years ago, Roberto Losada and his players should be cut some slack after the head coach made nine changes from the 4-0 victory over Laos three days earlier. Equally, Hong...
Gianni Infantino brings global goodwill tour to Hong Kong ahead of Fifa Asean final
Hong Kong has become the latest stop on Gianni Infantino’s global tour to shore up support ahead of next year’s Fifa presidential election. The under-fire boss, who is still recovering from the fallout of his ill-fated plan to sell off the World Cup, arrived in the city on Friday and is expected to stay for the inaugural Fifa Asean Challenge Cup final between Hong Kong and Cambodia at Kai Tak Stadium on Saturday. While Eric Fok Kai-shan, chairman of the Football Association of Hong Kong, China...
Manchester City lodge ‘comprehensive’ appeal against verdict in financial-rules scandal
Manchester City have filed an appeal against an independent commission ruling that found the club guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules, seeking to overturn the verdict and avoid potentially severe sanctions. The league said on Tuesday that City had used “sham” commercial contracts as part of schemes to inflate revenue and understate costs by more than £900 million (US$1.19 billion) over nearly a decade. City were found guilty of all charges relating to breaches...
India and Pakistan cricketers set for firecracker clash in ‘inspiring’ Hong Kong Sixes
India will clash with Pakistan in a blockbuster opening-day clash when the “unique and inspiring” Hong Kong Cricket Sixes gets under way later this month. The city team, meanwhile, currently nursing the deep frustration over being eliminated from the Asian Games after their quarter-final with Pakistan on Monday was washed out, will slug it out with Australia and England in an intriguing group. This 2026 edition will be the third iteration since the Sixes was removed from cold storage in...
Hong Kong mile division changes shape with Zac Purton on My Wish and Little Paradise transferred
A week is a long time in racing. In that period, Hong Kong’s mile division has seen dramatic changes. Zac Purton is the new rider of Group One Champions Mile winner My Wish, hopping off Little Paradise who has been transferred from Jimmy Ting Koon-ho to Danny Shum Chap-shing after his disappointing defeat in last Sunday’s Group Three Celebration Cup (1,400m). Invincible Ibis stamped his Group One Hong Kong Mile credentials with victory in the Celebration Cup and while Romantic Warrior’s...
Bahrain GP in Malaysia: Antonelli aims to bounce back from ‘worst weekend’, faces rain test
Kimi Antonelli will have to deal with an unfamiliar track and potentially heavy rain as he aims to recover from the “worst weekend” of his 2026 Formula 1 title challenge. The unusually named Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia takes Antonelli and his rivals to a track Formula 1 last visited in 2017 – when he was 11 – in a race hurriedly added to the calendar because of the disruption caused by the Iran war. It will take place at the Sepang International Circuit, about 60 kilometres (35 miles) south...
‘Sometimes horses do that’ – Fownes relaxed as wayward Alpha Strike goes for back-to-back wins
Caspar Fownes was left scratching his head after Alpha Strike’s wayward win at Sha Tin last time out but is not expecting similar antics when he goes for back-to-back wins at Sha Tin on Sunday. The speedy son of I Am Immortal won his only start in Australia pre-import and made a winning local start last October before going winless in five subsequent runs. He returned this campaign as a much improved model, lowering the colours of Solid State in a devastating performance, despite wandering all...
