The biggest knock I've heard about VM is that it doesn't actually "protect" anything since it is not patching vulnerablities.
I think this single line shows the biggest problem in the security industry, the need to protect vulnerabilities. Instead of adding layers to protect the bag of vulnerabilities, we should open the bag and remove the vulnerabilities one by one. The term vulnerability management is equally flawed. We should not at all "manage" vulnerabilities, but "identify" and "eradicate" them. The whole notion of keeping vulnerabilities around is just flawed... ... and I wonder if IPSes just foster the complacency to accept and live with vulnerabilities... Cheers, Frank
