"Despite a coordinated investment of time, effort, planning, and resources, even the most up-to-date cybersecurity systems continue to fail. Every day. Why? It's not because security teams can't see enough. Quite the contrary. Every security tool spits out thousands of findings. Patch this. Block that. Investigate this. It's a tsunami of red dots that not even the most crackerjack team on earth could ever clear."
"Vulnerability management was built on a simple premise: Find every weakness, rank it, then patch it. On paper, it sounds logical and systematic. And there was a time when it made perfect sense. Today, however, facing an unprecedented and constant barrage of threats, it's a treadmill not even the fittest team can keep up with. Each year, over 40,000 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) hit the wire. Scoring systems like CVSS and EPSS dutifully stamp 61% of them as "critical.""
Organizations face an overwhelming flood of vulnerability findings from multiple security tools, producing thousands of alerts that are mostly irrelevant to real risk. Traditional vulnerability management—find, rank, patch—cannot scale against tens of thousands of annual CVEs and scoring systems that label many issues as critical irrespective of exploitability or environment. Prioritization and validation of exposures that actually affect the business are essential. Continuous Threat Exposure Management centers prioritization and validation, narrowing focus to the handful of exposures that matter and validating defenses by proving they hold up where and when required. This risk-based approach reduces wasted effort and improves security effectiveness.
