3 Things You Need To Know About Prioritizing Vulnerabilities

This report, 3 Things You Need to Know About Prioritizing Vulnerabilities, explores the rapidly growing complexity of vulnerability management in the face of expanding attack surfaces and rising threat volumes. With over 15,000 vulnerabilities identified in 2017 and more than 16,500 in 2018, many rated as high or critical, organizations are under pressure to act quickly. However, only 29% report having full visibility into their infrastructure, and 58% struggle due to skilled staff shortages. This guide underscores the importance of moving away from reactive and manual patching processes and instead adopting a risk-based approach.

The report outlines a three-step strategy focused on addressing vulnerabilities that are actively exploited, leveraging predictive models to identify those likely to be targeted, and prioritizing critical internet-facing assets. Supported by real-time threat intelligence and data science, this approach drastically reduces remediation volume, helping teams cut through the noise and concentrate on what truly matters. Tenable’s Predictive Prioritization technology further enables this efficiency, slashing unnecessary remediation by up to 97%.

This resource is essential for cybersecurity leaders aiming to enhance their organization’s resilience while streamlining operational stress.
