Dealing with vulnerabilities
As we saw in Chapter 2, Managing Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Risks, there is a process to manage vulnerabilities at the company level that includes identification, analysis, assessment, and remediation.
Now, that process is what we called the management side of the story. Now, it's time to understand how that is achieved from the operational (day-to-day) point of view.
Who should be looking for vulnerabilities?
If you have a large enough budget, you must assign this task to either internal or external (third-party) Red Teams (as explained in Chapter 1, A Refresher to Defensive Security Concepts).
On the other hand, if your budget is limited, you can encourage people within your company to report any vulnerability on your infrastructure. To make this effective, you must establish and communicate a process for that purpose and, when possible, provide incentives to the people that find and report those vulnerabilities.
