Emerging Global Developments in Vulnerability Risk Mitigation

What’s the key to effective vulnerability risk management? 

Context. With expanding technological footprints comes an influx of CVEs that need to be discovered, assessed, and prioritized. Forrester’s recent State of Vulnerability Risk Management 2023 report covers key trends and behaviors in the market… and a recurring theme is a lack of context. 

Only 15% of security technology decision-makers think that better understanding of their attack surface is a top tactical priority in the next year.

Without a full understanding of your organization’s attack surface, you’re wide open to vulnerability exploits from unattended gaps in security controls, unprepared for historical CVE volume and technological changes, and unable to contextualize vulnerability risk and prioritize remediations.

In today’s rapidly expanding technological environment, taking an asset-centric risk-considered approach should be one of your top priorities.
