Traditional metrics such as CVSS score or the number of vulnerabilities are insufficient for effective vulnerability management as they lack business context, prioritization, and understanding of attackers' opportunities. Modern vulnerability management integrates security tools such as scanners, threat intelligence, and remediation workflows to provide a more efficient and effective solution.

In the complex and fast-moving world of cybersecurity-meets-regulations, working with third parties requires diligent third-party risk management oversight to monitor data management and processes. Improving InfoSec risk management can provide insights into how data is handled, the security safeguards in place to protect that data, potential security weaknesses, and better adherence to the multitude of data, security, and privacy regulations.
