During a routine vulnerability assessment, a cybersecurity analyst discovers a significant number of high-risk vulnerabilities on several critical systems. The analyst is tasked with creating a vulnerability management report for the IT management team. What key information should be included to ensure the team can prioritize and address these vulnerabilities effectively?
The correct answer is Vulnerabilities, Affected hosts, Risk score, Mitigation, Recurrence, Prioritization. When reporting on vulnerabilities, it's crucial to provide a comprehensive view of both the issues and the potential impact. Including details about the vulnerabilities themselves, the hosts affected, the risk score for prioritization, feasible mitigation strategies, potential for recurrence, and a prioritization plan ensures that management can fully understand the situation and make informed decisions on how to proceed. Without this detailed information, the response may be inadequate or misdirected.
