Abstract:

This paper presents the Vulnerability Threat Control Model (VTCM), a structured and adaptive framework designed to enhance security within DevOps environments, particularly during the Continuous Monitoring phase. The proposed model aims to identify, evaluate, and mitigate vulnerabilities using a five-stage process: Detection, Assessment, Threat Mapping, Control Implementation, and Continuous Feedback. The VTCM integrates automated monitoring tools with continuous feedback mechanisms to achieve real-time threat identification and proactive defense. Experimental results show a 35% reduction in average vulnerability exposure time and a 42% improvement in threat response efficiency compared with traditional monitoring systems. The findings suggest that VTCM can serve as an effective layer of defense in DevSecOps pipelines, bridging the gap between automation and intelligent security management.
