Gorelik discusses challenges posed by regulatory frameworks, incomplete asset inventories, and manual methods, while also exploring the role of automated systems, the future of vulnerability prioritization in the face of evolving cyber threats, and key factors organizations should consider in building effective remediation strategies.

A vulnerability with proven exploitability or a high probability of exploitation existing within an active internet-facing business application is likely a higher priority than a vulnerability residing within an unused application in a well-protected environment.

Systems should operate continuously and collect live data to drive vulnerability prioritization efforts based on actual usage.

What key factors should organizations consider when building their formula for vulnerability prioritization? How do these factors interplay in deciding the urgency of remediation efforts?

Where do you see the future of vulnerability prioritization heading, especially with the evolution of cyber threats and technological advancements?

Standard vulnerability management practices driven by CVSS scoring have evolved into risk-based vulnerability prioritization.
