2021 Gartner Market Guide for Vulnerability Assessment

Determine Which Vulnerability Assessment Tool is Right for Your Organization

Many Vulnerability Assessment vendors have grown beyond the discovery and assessment of traditional, on-premises IT environments and are now capable of delivering insights across the modern attack surface, including cloud, containers, operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT). However, some only deliver pieces of the solution, while others have expanded their portfolios to provide a more comprehensive offering.

To determine which vulnerability assessment solution is right for your organization, it’s important to understand the use cases and capabilities each vendor supports, and compare those with your needs ― and determine which will help you maximize the efficiency of your vulnerability assessment program.

Reading the 2021 Gartner’s Market Guide for Vulnerability Assessment can help you:

• Understand the coverage and capabilities of a wide range of vulnerability assessment solutions
• Get insights that will help you navigate vendor offerings
• See why vulnerability prioritization technology (VPT) is key to reducing cyber risk
