Understanding Vulnerability Dependency Management
Introduction
Vulnerability Dependency Management defines how to handle disclosed vulnerability depending upon the different situations. It can be performed with the help of tools or some organization performs this manually. There are some open source tools that are available for this as well. Each and every organization performs these types of management differently. Some also develops inhouse tools that can be used for vulnerability management.
What is Vulnerability Dependency Management?
Most projects that use third party applications or code snippets to fulfill their different kinds of operations such as they might be using the different codes for generating documents or pages in specific format. so instead of coding from scratch they implement this functionality by using the different types of open source codes or applications that are available.
Considering these factors so that applications using code from the outside and that code may have security vulnerabilities in that case, the development team must be aware of that so they can provide the required mitigation to secure the affected functionality.
