Proactive security analysis is a crucial aspect of organizational cybersecurity that involves anticipating cyber threats and mitigating or patching vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers. This approach differs from reactive security analysis, which focuses on analyzing security incidents after they occur. Proactive security analysis encompasses various techniques, including continuous monitoring, threat intelligence, vulnerability scanning, security audits, penetration testing, and incident response planning. By leveraging these techniques, enterprise SecOps teams can identify new and emerging vulnerabilities, enhance visibility of security risks, accelerate risk assessment, and improve the outcomes of vulnerability and patch management activities.
