Most vulnerability management programs don’t struggle because they lack visibility. They struggle because they generate more security decisions than humans can realistically process at scale. Modern security teams already have most of the tools they need to find and assess vulnerabilities. Their real operational challenge is determining which vulnerabilities matter, which teams own them, which findings deserve escalation, and which can safely wait.

Every year, the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) gives the security industry a chance to step back from the noise and look at what happened. Not what vendors predicted. Not what attackers threatened. Not what defenders feared. What happened. This year’s report makes one point hard to ignore: vulnerability exploitation became attackers’ initial leading access vector.
