Vulnerability Management Overview: Scanning, IPAM, CSPM, and Source Code Review (4.3)

This episode explains vulnerability management as a recurring operational process rather than a one-time scan. Vulnerability scanning identifies known weaknesses in systems, applications, configurations, and network exposure, but findings must be validated, prioritized, remediated, and verified. IP address management helps teams understand what systems exist, where they are located, and whether scanning coverage is complete. Cloud security posture management identifies risky cloud configurations, excessive permissions, exposed storage, and policy violations. Source code review helps find flaws earlier in the development process before they become production vulnerabilities. For Security+ scenarios, students should connect vulnerability management to inventory, business risk, remediation workflow, and continuous improvement.
