-   **Upgrade information**

Unified Security Exposure Management is available to all customers who are entitled to Vulnerability Response. However, migrating to USEM is a major upgrade that introduces a unified architecture for improved performance, scalability, and streamlined workflows. Before upgrading, leverage the Migration assistant for Unified Security Exposure Management that is available as an update set. See the [Migration Guidance to Unified Security Exposure Management \[KB2556844\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?sys_kb_id=8652717893a8ba94f538fb2d6cba1078&id=kb_article_view) Knowledge Base article for more information. This tool provides a guided experience for plugin installation, data mapping, rule migration, and post-migration validation, reducing risk and manual effort. Ensure that all integrations and workflows are reviewed for compatibility before initiating migration. For more information, see [Migrating to USEM](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=migrating-to-usem&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) and [Migrate to USEM](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=migrate-to-usem&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US).
