Many organizations are using outdated, highly inefficient, and time consuming VM processes that leave security personnel struggling to keep up. As the vulnerability landscape continues to evolve rapidly, the processes used to discover, track, and remediate them has failed to evolve with it.

Vulnerability exploitation is involved in over half of breaches, making it a huge risk to organizations. And the problem only continues to balloon year over year... both in the speed at which attackers are capitalizing on exploited vulnerabilities, and in the way that technology and assets outgrow most organization's current vulnerability management programs. In this series, we're going to be breaking down how vulnerability management has grown and evolved over time, plus how to modernize your program using things like risk-based vulnerability management.

There are hundreds of statistics you could collect and monitor to use as guiding metrics, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to do so. Learn the four most critical metrics to track in vulnerability management, and what they tell us about the health of your program.
