Online Published on 8 February, 2024. Abstract An organization’s security posture is the security status of all its networks, data, people, and systems; the resources it employs to protect them; and its ability to defend against attacks and quickly recover from them, patching vulnerabilities can minimize the investment cost but only a small reduction in the system risk. Therefore, efficient security assessment methods are needed that are not model or metric oriented, as well as an equivalent accuracy with respect to evaluating all possible attack scenarios. This paper contribution will be more focused on the security posture by explaining its importance, tools, for vulnerability patching, and their huge impact on enhancing the security situation in financial organizations.
