IDC PeerScape: Practices for Modern Vulnerability Management


This IDC PeerScape explores how security professionals have solved common vulnerability management challenges, along with their important learnings.“The IT landscape is growing and evolving, and the methods and tooling used to identify vulnerabilities need to evolve too. The identification of vulnerabilities is just one part of the overall vulnerability management process. Another part is the remediation of vulnerabilities, which is challenging due to the cooperation needed among the various teams involved and the time and resources needed (often instead of other activities serving the business),” says Nick Kirtley, adjunct research advisor, IT Executive Programs (IEP), IDC. “It is critical that vulnerabilities are managed effectively to shut off avenues of attack to those who want to do harm to the business. Just one unpatched or vulnerable system could be the difference between a successful or foiled attack.”

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
