Vulnerability Management Services
From research databases to student portals, your IT environment is vast—and constantly changing. With new patches, applications, and third-party tools introduced daily, vulnerabilities emerge faster than internal teams can keep up. Most institutions struggle to maintain a complete, up-to-date view of where they're exposed.
NewPush's Vulnerability Management Services bring clarity and control to the chaos. Powered by our OCSF-based platform at NewPush Platform, we scan, track, and triage vulnerabilities across your entire infrastructure—empowering you to act before attackers do.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vulnerability Management
What is vulnerability management, and why is it important for Higher Education?
How often should vulnerabilities be scanned for in a university environment?
Best practice is to conduct scans continuously or at least weekly, especially for internet-facing systems and critical infrastructure. NewPush's platform supports automated, scheduled scans to help institutions maintain ongoing security hygiene.
What types of vulnerabilities do you detect?
We detect a wide range of vulnerabilities, including software misconfigurations, missing patches, outdated components, privilege escalation flaws, web application vulnerabilities, and known exploits as defined in CVEs.
Do you help with actual remediation, or just detection?
Yes. We provide detailed remediation guidance for each vulnerability and can assist in coordinating patch deployment, configuration changes, and validation testing. Our goal is to help you reduce risk—not just generate reports.
Can your services integrate with our existing security tools?
Absolutely. We work with your existing EDR, SIEM, CMDB, or patch management platforms to provide end-to-end visibility and accelerate remediation workflows.
Will this help with our NIST 800-171 or CMMC compliance efforts?
Yes. Both NIST and CMMC frameworks require systematic vulnerability scanning, tracking, and remediation. Our solution is designed to align with these frameworks and generate the documentation needed for audits or self-assessments.
What’s the difference between a vulnerability scan and penetration testing?
Vulnerability scans are automated assessments to identify known weaknesses, while penetration tests involve manual simulation of real-world attacks. Vulnerability management is ongoing and preventative; pen testing is periodic and typically more intensive.
How do you prioritize vulnerabilities when there are hundreds or thousands?
We use contextual risk scoring based on exploitability, asset importance, and compliance exposure. This ensures your team focuses first on what's most critical—not just what's most numerous.
