Vulnerability Management Service (VMS)
Overview and Key Features:
Vulnerability management is the process of identifying, evaluating, treating and reporting on security vulnerabilities in systems and the software that runs on them. This, implemented alongside other security tactics, is vital for organizations to prioritize potential risks and minimize their attack surface.
Security vulnerabilities refer to technological weaknesses that allow malicious actors to compromise a product and the information it holds. This process needs to be performed continuously to keep up with new systems being added to networks, changes that are made to systems and the discovery of new vulnerabilities over time.
Getting Started:
The cost for the VMS is being incurred by Information Security and will be provided as a complimentary service to all tri-campus units. The vulnerability scan results are restricted to a need-to-know basis.
If you are authorized, the vulnerability scan results associated with your unit can be accessed through the Vulnerability Reporting Portal by logging in with your UTORid.
If you are a network or server administrator and do not have access to the vulnerability scan results for systems you manage, contact us at security.admin@utoronto.ca.
