VDR-CSO-DETVulnerability Detection
allMUST
Providers MUST systematically, persistently, and promptly discover and identify vulnerabilities within their cloud service offering using appropriate techniques such as assessment, scanning, threat intelligence, vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, bug bounties, penetration testing, incident response, automated control testing, supply chain monitoring, and other relevant capabilities; this process is called vulnerability detection. Vulnerability detection includes persistently verifying and validating that information resources and processes are operating as intended and documented for FedRAMP Practices.
