The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a pivotal tool in the field of cybersecurity that helps determine the severity of software vulnerabilities. There are few people who haven’t heard of this scoring system, however, there are many who only know it as a scoring model versus an actual vulnerability matrix that offers a consistent framework for communicating the traits and effects of different vulnerabilities.

The days where applications were monoliths built of proprietary code, and releases were set quarterly are no more. Instead, they have been replaced by fast paced development sprints, with software created using plenty of code from open-source repositories. The growing complexities of software development and the associated risks have far exceeded the abilities of traditional application security.

Businesses have come a long way in their individual journeys to digital transformation, all to enhance their customer and workforce experiences. This shift elevated the importance of both Application Security (AppSec) and Cloud Security (CloudSec) in safeguarding digital assets and ensuring infrastructure resilience.

Vulnerability remediation is no small feat – especially if your security and remediation teams are understaffed and overwhelmed. Because vulnerabilities extend across the code, cloud, and infrastructure in your attack surface, and can vary drastically in their criticality, location, type, or affected systems, one-size-fits-all approaches are rarely the answer.

Since 2005, the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) has been used to assess and communicate the severity of vulnerabilities in software. If you’re involved in cybersecurity, even if you’re not directly involved in managing vulnerabilities, you’ve probably come across CVSS designations like ‘critical’ or ‘high’ when referring to vulnerabilities in the industry.

Global digital transformation is rapidly changing the way businesses operate. This has led to a significant increase in the attack surface, which organizations must protect. However, this can be a daunting task for organizations that are still using traditional vulnerability management tools and processes. In this article, we will discuss the impact of digital transformation on vulnerability management and explore what a modern and automated vulnerability management solution looks like.

Living Off the Land (LOTL) cyber attacks represent a growing and increasingly sophisticated threat within the cybersecurity landscape. The significance of LOTL attacks extends beyond mere technicalities; they pose substantial risks to global security, influencing everything from corporate stability to national defense mechanisms.
