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

At Black Hat 2025, CyberRisk TV sits down with HD Moore, Founder and CEO of runZero, for a no-BS conversation on why vulnerability management is still failing enterprises — and what needs to change now. Hosted by Jackie McGuire, this interview dives deep into the real-world challenges facing security teams today: tool overload, missing assets, unauthenticated exposures, and the illusion of visibility.

HD reveals how attackers are exploiting blind spots faster than defenders can react — and why unauthenticated discovery is the secret weapon defenders need. From the evolution of pentesting to the pitfalls of modern tooling, this interview offers a powerful call to rethink how we manage risk.

Topics Covered:

  • Why vulnerability tools are worse today than 20 years ago
  • The myth of full visibility in enterprise security
  • How AI and Shadow IT are accelerating unauthenticated risk
  • The "garage keypad is 1234" problem in cyber hygiene
  • runZero’s unique approach: find everything, fast, without credentials
  • What every CISO needs to hear to justify better investments

If you're tired of dashboards full of false confidence and alerts that don’t matter, this is your wake-up call.
