Efficiently identify, prioritize, and resolve vulnerabilities.
Understanding which vulnerabilities are most critical and exposing you to potential exploits is crucial for reducing risk.
Effective Vulnerability Management (VM) is crucial for advancing the maturity of your security program and minimizing overall business risks.
The challenge often lies in the overwhelming number of vulnerabilities detected by VM tools, which can strain teams that have limited resources for mitigating or remediating these issues. Proficio’s Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) service addresses this by prioritizing vulnerabilities based on their impact and relevance.
This strategic focus not only enhances the efficiency of patching and remediation efforts but also ensures that potential breaches are transformed into prevented threats, maintaining your security at the highest level.
Knowing what is most critical in your environment is key to reducing your risk. Severity-based scores, like Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), consider only the vulnerability severity. Proficio’s RBVM includes threat information to prioritize remediation, such as the risk of a vulnerability being exploited in the context of your industry vertical, the criticality of the asset, and the level of known activity in the wild.
Using Proficio’s RBVM services reduces the level of remediation effort by giving your team a clear guide of what patches to focus on first to effectively reduce the likelihood of an actual exploit occurring. This is accomplished by combining Predictive and Contextual Prioritization.
Separately, Predictive Prioritization and Contextual Prioritization strategies will help to reduce remediation efforts. However, by combining both, Proficio’s RBVM solution provides a powerful tool that can identify the vulnerabilities in your environment that pose the greatest risk to critical assets, ensuring that your remediation plan is efficient, effective, and has the greatest impact on reducing risk.
Proficios vulnerability intelligence (VI) experts act as in an extension of your team to help you better understand your risks and provides recommendations for effective remediation. Or engineers and analysts have an in-depth knowledge of vulnerability characteristics and risks which they apply to the analysis and prioritization of vulnerabilities in your environment to limit your risk.
The RBVM monthly report includes a wide range of data to track your progress over time. View the impact of your teams’ efforts, including vulnerabilities patched and critical assets secured, to help better understand the improvements in your team’s efficiency and visualize return on your investment.
Proficio provides a comprehensive life cycle solution for managing your vulnerabilities. Paired with the services of Qualys, our RBVM service enhances the prioritization of your vulnerabilities and helps you respond to the most critical patches first. We also hold regular review meetings where our team provides advice and recommendations, as we assist with the remediation efforts throughout the vulnerability lifecycle process.
To help you better stay on top of your vulnerabilities, Proficio’s RBVM service includes optional patch management capabilities. This allows our team to remediate discovered vulnerabilities for you on predetermined assets, including remote endpoints like laptops, so your team is able to offload some of your critical vulnerabilities. Proficio also updates patches to the standard maintenance windows on a regular basis to prevent future vulnerabilities.

RBVM is a cybersecurity service that prioritizes vulnerabilities based on their potential impact and relevance, rather than severity alone. Proficio’s RBVM focuses remediation efforts on critical risks to reduce exploitation likelihood and improve security efficiency.
RBVM uses Predictive and Contextual Prioritization, combining asset criticality, threat intelligence, and industry-specific risk to ensure your team addresses vulnerabilities with the highest potential impact first.
Yes. By focusing on the highest-risk vulnerabilities, RBVM reduces unnecessary patching and streamlines remediation workflows, saving resources and increasing security efficiency.
Yes. RBVM continuously evaluates vulnerabilities in real time, providing guidance for prompt patching and risk mitigation, ensuring your organization stays ahead of potential threats.
Proficio’s RBVM optionally remediates critical vulnerabilities and deploys patches to endpoints and systems during scheduled maintenance windows, helping teams offload tasks and maintain secure infrastructure.
Proficio’s Vulnerability Intelligence (VI) experts act as an extension of your team, analyzing, prioritizing, and providing actionable remediation guidance tailored to your environment.
RBVM includes trackable metrics such as vulnerabilities patched, risk reduced, critical assets secured, and remediation efficiency, helping you demonstrate ROI and security program maturity.
Yes. By prioritizing and addressing high-risk vulnerabilities, RBVM ensures that critical systems meet regulatory and industry security requirements, supporting compliance initiatives like HIPAA, PCI, or NIST.
By focusing resources on the most critical vulnerabilities, RBVM reduces the likelihood of exploits, strengthens defenses, and enables proactive management of organizational risks.
Organizations facing large volumes of vulnerabilities or limited remediation resources benefit most, gaining expert guidance, optimized patch management, and improved risk reduction across critical systems.
