Vulnerability Management

Understand how organizations reduce risk at scale. These articles cover scanning approaches, common weaknesses, and how teams prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities across the cloud.

What is continuous pen testing? A cloud security perspective

Wiz Experts Team

Continuous penetration testing is an always-on, adversarial security testing approach that persistently discovers, exploits, and validates vulnerabilities across your environment rather than testing at a single point in time.

DAST vs pen testing: Key differences explained

Wiz Experts Team

Traditional pen testing was purely manual and periodic. Modern approaches increasingly incorporate automation, AI-assisted tooling, and penetration testing as a service (PTaaS) models that offer more frequent engagements.

What is vulnerability management?

Wiz Experts Team

Vulnerability management is the continuous process of finding, prioritizing, and fixing security weaknesses, ensuring they are identified, validated, and recorded, before attackers can exploit them.

How to Choose a Vulnerability Management Vendor in 2026

Wiz Experts Team

When you evaluate vulnerability management platforms, you need to look for specific capabilities that handle the speed of the cloud. The following criteria cover the essential features a modern vendor must provide.

What is cloud vulnerability scanning? Modern best practices

Wiz Experts Team

Cloud vulnerability scanning is the automated process of identifying security flaws within your cloud infrastructure, workloads, and configurations. Unlike traditional scanning designed for static, on-premises servers, cloud scanning is built to handle the dynamic nature of the cloud.

What is CVE scanning?

Wiz Experts Team

CVE scanning is the automated process of checking your software, systems, and networks against a database of known security flaws to identify vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.

What is internal vulnerability scanning?

Wiz Experts Team

Internal vulnerability scanning is the process of identifying security weaknesses within an organization’s internal network infrastructure.

What is external vulnerability scanning?

Wiz Experts Team

External vulnerability scanning is a way to find weaknesses in your public-facing systems by testing them from outside your network. This means you see your environment the same way an attacker on the internet would see it.

What is continuous vulnerability scanning?

Wiz Experts Team

Continuous vulnerability scanning is an automated process that checks systems, networks, and applications for security weaknesses to detect new issues promptly.

What is a vulnerability scanning report?

Wiz Experts Team

A vulnerability scanning report is a document from a vulnerability scanner that lists discovered weaknesses, shows how severe they are, and explains how to fix them.

What is application vulnerability management?

Wiz Experts Team

Application vulnerability management is a continuous process of discovering, assessing, prioritizing, and remediating security weaknesses in your software code, APIs, and dependencies across the entire development lifecycle.

Top Vulnerability Management Solutions in 2026

Wiz Experts Team

Modern vulnerability management is evolving into Unified Vulnerability Management (UVM)—a single approach that connects all scanners, adds cloud context, and turns scattered findings into prioritized, fixable risks.

Unified Vulnerability Management (UVM) Explained

Unified Vulnerability Management (UVM) has undergone a significant evolution in recent years, driven by technological advancements, changing threat landscapes, and increased regulatory demands. In this post, we explore how UVM has evolved and where we believe it’s headed in the next few years.
