The cybersecurity landscape has reached a tipping point. For years, security teams have been caught in a cycle of reactive patching, drowning in a sea of critical vulnerabilities while struggling to maintain an accurate inventory of what they actually own. The "old way" of vulnerability management — relying on incomplete scans and legacy tools — is no longer enough to defend the modern, sprawling attack surface.

This year, we aren't just making a resolution; we’re leading a shift in strategy.

For this year-end blog post, we have rounded up a few deep-dive interviews with HD Moore, Founder and CEO of runZero, where he discusses why the traditional vulnerability management model is broken and how we can collectively forge a better path forward. HD explores the critical intersection of asset intelligence and risk, explaining why you can't secure what you can't see — and why "better" doesn't just mean more data, but more clarity.

Enjoy!

The death & rebirth of vulnerability management with HD Moore #

Throw back to RSAC when Jeff Man and HD Moore explored the state of vulnerability management. They discussed what was required to truly prevent real-world incidents and shared new perspectives that challenged the status quo. Their conversation highlighted innovative approaches that were finally overcoming decades-old problems to usher in a new era of vulnerability management.

Soap Box: runZero shakes up vulnerability management #

In this sponsored Soap Box edition of the Risky Business podcast, HD Moore joined the show to talk about runZero’s major push into vulnerability management.

With our Nuclei integration, runZero is now able to get a very accurate picture of what’s vulnerable in your environment, without spraying highly privileged credentials at attackers on your network. It can also integrate with your EDR platform, and other data sources, to give you powerful visibility into the true state of things on your network and in your cloud.

You can’t get there from here: why we need a new way to manage exposure with HD Moore #

At Black Hat 2025, CyberRisk TV sat down with HD Moore, Founder and CEO of runZero, for a no-BS conversation on why vulnerability management was still failing enterprises — and what needed to change then. Hosted by Jackie McGuire, this interview unpacked the real-world challenges that were facing security teams: tool overload, missing assets, unauthenticated exposures, and the illusion of visibility.
