The Threat & Vulnerability Management Maturity Model

Organizations of all shapes and sizes, for profit and nonprofit, private enterprise and government, are facing the very significant risk that malicious individuals could breach their critical computing and data assets. And this problem is growing at an alarming rate. The 2014 PwC Global State of Information Security Survey reported the number of detected security incidents have increased 25% in the past 12 months. Similarly, the cost of security incidents increased 18% over the same time period.

This paper will introduce the Threat and Vulnerability Management (TVM) Maturity Model, along with a roadmap to take advantage of the model, as a means to manage and reduce security risk.
