There is an extreme shortage of cybersecurity talent, and it takes a team of uniquely qualified experts to develop a vulnerability management strategy for a modern enterprise.

Vulnerability management technology has evolved significantly in recent years, and state-of-the-art vulnerability management solutions are required to implement an effective and efficient vulnerability management plan in the modern enterprise.

One important area in the vulnerability management space which does benefit from AI and ML is vulnerability and risk prioritization, the practice of rating vulnerabilities to figure out which ones to fix first amongst millions in an enterprise.

The number of vulnerability scanning tools needed in a modern enterprises will continue to grow, and vulnerability aggregation and unification platforms will become table stakes for enterprise vulnerability management programs.

Threat and vulnerability intelligence, both vendor provided and organization created, will be incorporated into vulnerability management policy, SLAs and decision making, creating intelligence-led vulnerability management programs that will be able to operate more efficiently and effectively than the best vulnerability management programs of today.
