Software Vulnerability Management
You can’t protect what you can’t see
The majority of security exploits utilize vulnerabilities known about for over a year, but many organizations don’t have sufficient resources to address these vulnerabilities. Flexera enables you to support vulnerability identification and prioritization by prioritizing what to remediate, based on reliable intelligence from Secunia Research.

Control your entire software vulnerability management lifecycle
Processes are the backbone of any program to effectively mitigate risk. It’s critical for the security of your business to build processes that connect policies with software vulnerability and patch management activities. Flexera helps ensure you’re addressing critical vulnerabilities accordingly, maintaining a clear picture of your environment and having a full understanding of how vulnerabilities and patches are being managed.
Collaborate effectively
Gain visibility into all your software
ITAM professionals can enable security teams to quickly find a software title or version that has reported vulnerabilities. This makes it easier to run vulnerability checks on applications prior to deployment and ensures that unnecessary risk isn’t introduced into your environment, bolstering quality initiatives and helping cleanse software catalogs.
Make prioritization a priority
Connect assessment and patching to remediate efficiently
Discover and track more applications across Windows, Mac and Linux platforms than any other provider. Leverage Secunia Research security advisories to simplify your prioritization process with criticality, threat scoring, impact, attack vectors and more details to find solutions that work best for your organization.
Intelligent automation
Time and resources are finite
Reduce the time-to-resolution window and drive routine patching with automation. Focus on more complex applications while putting the routine on autopilot. Choose which applications to automate and set conditions to publish only the versions you determine to be most impactful.
Improve risk mitigation
Prioritize smarter with threat intelligence
Bolster the insights that enable effective prioritization with a score based on threat intelligence that allows you to consider which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited. Only 6 to 8 percent of vulnerabilities lead to an exploit that could damage your organization if not patched. Flexera’s threat score metric associates this valuable insight with your unpatched products to help ensure you’re focusing on the patches that most affect your environment.
More than 18,000 vulnerability emerge every year
Sharpen vulnerability remediation
Intelligence you need when you need it
Maximize your vulnerability response with advisories provided by Flexera’s Secunia Research team and cover all security vulnerabilities associated with a specific version of a product. Patch those most likely to be exploited by leveraging a consistently updated scoring system. With Flexera, you can know the impact, the attack vector and the source, while getting more specifics to understand the context in your environment.
Flexera has become fundamental to our patch management regime. We now have oversight that we’ve never had before. What was a complex, difficult, and time-consuming process is now more structured, prioritized and focused. We’re in a better position than we’ve ever been.
