# Best Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Software - Page 12

*By [Brandon Summers-Miller](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/brandon-summers-miller)*


Risk-based vulnerability management software is used to identify and prioritize vulnerabilities based on customizable risk factors. These tools are more advanced than traditional vulnerability management solutions, as they assist in the prioritization of issues and execution of remedies based on the results of machine learning algorithms.

Companies use risk-based vulnerability management solutions to analyze entire organizations’ IT systems, cloud services, and/or applications and identify priorities. Instead of manually identifying vulnerabilities and remediating them in order of discovery, an organization can automate that process to remediate vulnerabilities impacting critical business components first. From there, they can address issues as the system has ordered by impact and remediation time. Companies can customize these priorities as they see fit by weighing risk factors differently.

Risk-based vulnerability management solutions are primarily used by IT professionals and security staff. These teams will integrate system and application information, outline priorities, and analyze assets. Automation within these tools saves significant time; furthermore, addressing critical vulnerabilities first can significantly reduce the likelihood of security incidents, failover, and data loss.

There is some overlap between risk-based vulnerability management solutions and [security risk analysis software](https://www.g2.com/categories/security-risk-analysis), but there are a few key differences. Security risk analysis tools provide similar capabilities in identifying vulnerabilities and other security risks. But security risk analysis tools, aside from a few outlier products, will not utilize machine learning and automation to assist in the prioritization and execution of vulnerability remediation.

To qualify for inclusion in the Risk-Based Vulnerability Management category, a product must:

- Integrate threat intelligence and contextual data for analysis
- Analyze applications, networks, and cloud services for vulnerabilities
- Utilize risk factors and machine learning to prioritize vulnerabilities

### Check Point Exposure Management

Exposure Management is changing how organizations react to cyber risk. Attackers exploit exposed assets, leaked credentials, and misconfigurations within hours, while security teams are left sorting through dashboards, alerts, and disconnected tools. Check Point Exposure Management closes that gap by combining billions of external intelligence signals into a Unified Intelligence Fabric. The platform continuously identifies, validates, prioritizes, and safely remediates the exposures attackers are most likely to exploit. With Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM), security teams gain a real-time inventory across cloud, SaaS, on-premises infrastructure, endpoints, and identities through 150+ agentless integrations. Unlike traditional vulnerability management, Check Point prioritizes exposures based on real-world exploitability, active threat intelligence, business context, and existing security controls, eliminating duplicate alerts and reducing remediation noise. It does so while maintaining business continuity. Safe-by-design remediation then validates every action before enforcement, enabling capabilities such as virtual patching, IPS activation, configuration hardening, and policy enforcement without disrupting business operations. Organizations using the platform achieve a 93% true positive rate, 12-hour average takedown MTTR, and 504 safe remediations per organization every month. Built around Gartner's Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework, Check Point helps organizations move from visibility to measurable risk reduction. Gartner predicts organizations adopting CTEM with mobilization will experience 50% fewer successful cyberattacks by 2028. Ready to see Exposure Management in action?
