Vulnerability risk management: Build vs. buy

Learn how Vulcan Cyber delivers the efficiency and convenience of a prebuilt offering, and the context and customizability of an in-house solution. 

At a glance

Creating an in-house vulnerability management tool aligns closely with an organization’s unique needs and systems but demands significant time and resources. Vulcan Cyber offers a solution that combines the efficiency of a pre-built platform with the adaptability of a custom system, allowing organizations to quickly implement an advanced tool without the burdens of starting anew.

Build vs. Buy

When considering a build vs. buy strategy for maintaining a vulnerability risk management program, consider the following criteria:

  • Technical expertise – essential when deciding between building an in-house vulnerability management program and buying a tool because it enables you to make an informed decision based on your organization’s unique requirements. It ensures that the chosen solution is not only cost-effective but also tailored to your specific technical environment and security needs.
  • Scalability – ensures that your chosen solution can evolve with your organization’s needs. It provides the flexibility, cost efficiency, and performance required to effectively manage vulnerabilities as your organization grows and changes over time.
  • Automation – enhances efficiency, accuracy, scalability, and responsiveness. It allows organizations to manage vulnerabilities more effectively and adapt to changing threat landscapes, ultimately strengthening their overall security posture.
  • Integrations with existing tools – ensures that your vulnerability management efforts are comprehensive, efficient, and aligned with your organization’s specific needs. It enhances visibility, simplifies operations, and facilitates effective security management through utilization of native tools. 
  • Compliance – necessary to explore because they provide a framework for ensuring that your vulnerability management program meets legal and regulatory obligations. Whether you build an in-house program or purchase a tool, your choice should support your organization’s ability to maintain compliance, protect sensitive data, and demonstrate adherence to industry standards and regulations.
  • Cost – the financial criteria are crucial when deciding between building an in-house vulnerability management program and purchasing a tool because they help you make informed financial decisions. By thoroughly assessing the costs associated with each option, you can choose the solution that aligns with your organization’s budget, long-term financial strategy, and expected return on investment.
  • Ongoing maintenance and support – essential for the continued effectiveness, reliability, and security of your vulnerability management program. Failing to address these criteria can result in reduced security, increased risk, and operational disruptions. Things to consider are ongoing costs for updates, patches, and support and available skilled staff for continuous monitoring and improvements.

The difference

An in-house solution can be a drain on resources, especially as the business scales, and navigating the labyrinth of compliance requirements places further strain on resources. Additionally, the overhead of development and continuous maintenance can be costly.

In contrast, Vulcan Cyber is designed with scalability at its core, leveraging automation to efficiently handle vast amounts of data and remediation actions. It stays current with vital compliance frameworks, ensuring security teams always meet essential requirements.

As a cost-effective SaaS solution, Vulcan Cyber not only saves on initial costs but also reduces the ongoing resource burden, providing security teams with a streamlined, maintained platform.

Better together

Building an internal vulnerability management tool provides organizations with a solution tailored to their specific needs, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems, and a closer alignment with business needs and context. However, its development and maintenance can be resource-intensive, both in terms of time and cost.

Vulcan Cyber bridges this gap, offering a ready-to-deploy solution that combines the efficiency of an external platform with the customizability of an in-house system. This means organizations can swiftly adopt a sophisticated tool without the overhead of creating one from scratch.

Moreover, context-based risk prioritization means organizations get a view of the cyber risk that most affect their most critical assets.
