What is IAVM?

IAVM stands for Information Assurance Vulnerability Management. It's a process used by organizations, particularly within the U.S. Department of Defense and other government entities, to manage and mitigate vulnerabilities in their information systems. IAVM involves identifying, tracking, and reporting on vulnerabilities, and ensuring that appropriate security measures, such as patches and configuration changes, are implemented to address them. The goal of IAVM is to reduce the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches by proactively addressing known weaknesses in IT systems. It provides a structured approach to vulnerability management.
