How In-Memory Vulnerability Scanning Boosts Enterprise

Linux Security

By Eric Hendricks, Product Manager for the Radar Vulnerability Scanner at TuxCare

Enterprise Linux security faces a dangerous new reality as AI-powered threats continue to become more
adaptive and aggressive toward traditional methods of defense. With the cyberthreat landscape
continuing to evolve, routine vulnerability scanners and legacy systems are struggling to keep up because
they’re unable to differentiate between a low-risk concern or a severe threat needing immediate attention
from the security team. The noise can often become overwhelming. As a result, systems get cluttered
with false positives, forcing security teams to spend valuable time manually addressing alerts.

False Alarms Are Draining Time and Resources

Not only is that manual process highly disruptive, it’s ultimately dangerous. While security teams and
sysadmins are busy sorting false alarms, critical vulnerabilities are getting put on the backburner or
missed entirely. This combination creates a wealth of opportunity for money hungry hackers looking to
exploit vulnerabilities and capitalize on overwhelmed, ineffective defenses.
