Vulnerability Management Foundation

Vulnerability Management Foundation is an AWS-based service that helps organizations implement a practical and repeatable process for identifying, tracking, prioritizing, and managing security vulnerabilities in applications and supporting environments. The solution combines vulnerability scanning, SBOM generation, process design, alerting, reporting, and team enablement into a structured security foundation for modern software delivery.

Built around proven open-source tooling such as DefectDojo and designed to fit AWS-based development and operations environments, the service enables customers to move from ad hoc security checks to an organized vulnerability management process that supports both operational security and continuous delivery.

Our solution provides a structured implementation of a vulnerability management process for AWS-based application environments, helping teams build a sustainable security response integrated into day-to-day engineering:

• Vulnerability Management Process Setup: Definition and implementation of a practical operating model for handling detected vulnerabilities, including triage, prioritization, ownership, and reporting.
• DefectDojo Deployment & Configuration: Deployment and setup of DefectDojo as the central platform for consolidating, managing, and tracking vulnerability findings.
• Application Vulnerability Monitoring: Implementation of continuous vulnerability monitoring for selected applications, key eCommerce services, or APIs.
• Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Configuration of dependency and library scanning to identify known vulnerabilities in third-party software components.
• SBOM Generation & Review: Automated generation and review of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for the selected application scope.
• Container & Platform Monitoring: Extended monitoring for Docker containers and environment-related components, including image scanning and selected infrastructure elements.
• CI/CD Integration & Automation: Integration of vulnerability scanning directly into CI/CD pipelines for automated build and deployment checks.
• Remediation & Issue Tracker Integration: Integration with issue tracking/service management systems, preparation of prioritized remediation backlogs, report templates, and security checklists.
• Notifications, Reporting & Enablement: Setup of real-time alerts, recurring executive reports on critical findings, and team operational guidance.

The service utilizes proven security open-source tools and integrates directly into your AWS development landscape:

• Central Management Platform: DefectDojo for vulnerability aggregation and tracking.
• Scanning & Analysis Capabilities: SCA engines, container image scanners, and SBOM generators.
• Environment & Delivery Pipeline: Integration with AWS-hosted CI/CD pipelines, container registries, and application workloads.

• End-to-End Visibility: Gain a clear, centralized view of security vulnerabilities across code dependencies, containers, and infrastructure.
• Repeatable Security Workflows: Move from reactive, one-time scans to a sustainable, automated vulnerability management lifecycle.
• Audit & Review Readiness: Improve organizational readiness for compliance audits, security reviews, and remediation planning.
• Engineering-Centric Security: Align security findings seamlessly with daily developer workflows and backlog priorities.
