# Vulnerability Management

To prevent security incidents, NTT Data utilizes corporate vulnerability management agents that are continuously monitored by the corporate security team. This proactive approach enables the identification and mitigation of risks before they evolve into real threats.

In addition, Syntphony undergoes periodic security audits—annually—carried out by a specialized ethical hacking team. These audits evaluate the infrastructure and Baseline, based on recognized industry standards such as OWASP, OSINT, OSSTMM, and T-REC-X.509.

Vulnerability management encompasses not only identifying system flaws but also prioritizing them based on the risks they pose. A continuous cycle of discovery, assessment, and remediation is implemented, which includes:

* Identification: Use of automated and manual tools to detect vulnerabilities across systems, applications, and networks.
* Classification: Evaluation of each vulnerability’s severity using criteria such as the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS).
* Remediation: Application of patches or configuration changes to mitigate identified vulnerabilities.
* Verification: Testing to ensure that vulnerabilities have been effectively mitigated.
* Reporting & Tracking: Documenting and communicating findings to management and stakeholders, maintaining a clear security status record.

This comprehensive approach not only strengthens NTT Data’s infrastructure security but also fosters a security-oriented organizational culture where all employees are aware of the importance of vulnerability management.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://trustcenter.syntphony.com/products/syntphony-business-transformation/intelligent-automation/security/vulnerability-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
