Summary

Organizations today struggle with vulnerability management. More specifically, remediating vulnerabilities in a timely manner poses a challenge. With vulnerability remediation backlogs growing at an alarming rate, what can organizations do to meet their established remediation timelines and to protect the organization from cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity leader Ray Payano will discuss the exponential increase in published vulnerabilities, the lack of resources in cybersecurity to perform remediation and balancing remediation with reduced maintenance windows. These challenges contribute to organizations struggling with remediation backlogs. Ray will explain how calculating vulnerability risk can help organizations prioritize their vulnerabilities based on risk level to help determine the order in which vulnerabilities are addressed.
