More than 32,000 new Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) have been recorded so far this year alone, and the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), the US government repository for reported vulnerabilities, now faces an unprecedented backlog of CVEs.
Embracing continuous exposure management allows businesses to proactively manage their cybersecurity posture, prioritize critical exposures, and maintain a comprehensive view of their attack surface.
There’s an on-going battle between competing priorities being waged every day in enterprises globally, and it’s been going on for decades. Cyber security teams are concerned with unpatched vulnerabilities and the breaches they risk, while IT professionals are driven by operational availability, the lack of which jeopardizes the business’ ability to operate.
With risks being discovered by a wide range of security tools, how can vulnerability management teams ensure their vulnerability risk management programs are actually targeting the highest-priority risks and therefore supporting ongoing cybersecurity goals? When these tools and their findings are siloed, the answer is, unfortunately, simple: they can’t.
Security vulnerabilities in languages like PHP, Python, and Java may involve updating the language.

DevSecOps Overwhelmed by Backlogs, Significant Time and Money Being Lost to Vulnerability Management
The State of Vulnerability Management in DevSecOps" study included over 16,500 IT leaders and experts. 66% of these firms say they have a backlog of more than 100,000 vulnerabilities.
New report indicates that Twitter may have great value as a vulnerability management tool. Twitter mentions are twice as good as CVSS when it comes to measuring an organization's potential exploitability.
At a time when the risk of a data breach has never been more acute, a true attack-centric exposure prioritization platform offers a superior solution for vulnerability management.
Is your vulnerability management team overwhelmed and demoralized by the need to play catch up with a ceaseless flood of vulnerabilities? Using security intelligence can enable risk-prioritized vulnerability management.
