In this Nucleus webinar, we take a deep dive into the practical challenges and strategies for managing security debt in the context of Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM). Scott Kuffer, co-founder of Nucleus Security and veteran in vulnerability management, explains how RBVM has shifted from a holistic risk reduction approach to a prioritization-heavy process that often falls short. He discusses why traditional methods lead to excessive security debt and demonstrates how aligning VM processes with product management principles can create more efficient, business-centric remediation.
