FAQ
Q: What are the four key takeaways from today's conversation?
A: The four key takeaways from today's conversation are risk-based prioritization, the ineffectiveness of traditional models like vendor severity CVSS in accounting for real-world risk, the need for better metrics, and the importance of focusing on real-world risk to our environment.
Q: How much can data incidents be reduced by focusing on real-world risk?
A: By focusing on real-world risk, data incidents can be reduced by up to 80% in the course of a year.
Q: Why is speed important in remediation?
A: Speed is important in remediation because faster remediation can help minimize the impact of vulnerabilities and reduce the time window for potential exploitation.
Q: How quickly can vulnerabilities be identified before the vendor knows about them?
A: Sometimes vulnerabilities can be identified before the vendor even knows about them.
Q: What is the importance of improving time to patch and automating remediation steps?
A: Improving time to patch and automating remediation steps can help reduce the time spent resolving risks in the environment and enhance the overall efficiency of the remediation process.
