The death and rebirth of vulnerability management (RSAC25)

Despite becoming a checkbox feature in major product suites, vulnerability management is fundamentally broken. The few remaining first-wave vulnerability scanners long ago shifted their investments and attention into adjacent markets to maintain growth, bolting on fragmented functionality that's added complexity without effectively securing today's attack surfaces. Meanwhile, security teams are left contending with massive blind spots and disparate tools that collectively fail to detect exposures that are commonly exploited by attackers. Our industry is ready for change.

Jeff Man and HD Moore explore the current state of vulnerability management, what’s required to truly prevent real-world incidents, new perspectives that are challenging the status quo, and innovative approaches that are finally overcoming decades old problems to usher in a new era of vulnerability management.
