The number of attacks like the recent one against Equifax have risen dramatically in the last few years, resulting in the exposure of hundreds of millions of private records. The sad truth is that vulnerability management programs have either no or extremely limited ability to actively correct the flaws that they find. The primary preference to reduce vulnerabilities is to implement as much automated patching as possible. IT departments should hire developers that can automate the correction of infrastructure flaws as needed. DevOps principles are already being used to automatically stop active attacks within the information security community.”]
