When vulnerability scans return thousands or even millions of findings, leading to an avalanche of tickets to evaluate, the real challenge begins: figuring out what to fix first. Exposure prioritization is the critical next phase of a mature exposure management program. After defining what exposure management is and establishing a normalized foundation of aggregated data, the question becomes: how do we cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters?

On June 23, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission’s sweeping amendments to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) took effect, ushering in more stringent duties for any operator collecting or using children’s data—whether via websites, services, or AI‑powered agents. Companies must achieve full compliance by April 22, 2026 (Finnegan | Leading IP+ Law Firm, Bass, Berry & Sims PLC).

Most organizations have invested in their cybersecurity programs, ensuring that targeted actions have been taken, such as the deployment of security tools or the formalization of cyber-relevant policies, to reduce their exposure.

In its 2025 State of the Underground report, Bitsight TRACE identified the manufacturing sector as the most targeted industry for the third consecutive year, accounting for 22% of the 4,853 cyberattacks where sector attribution was possible. Manufacturing is the backbone of global supply chains, and when a cyberattack halts operations, even just briefly, the ripple effects can be enormous. Production delays, missed shipments, and service disruptions quickly cascade across industries.

While financial institutions enjoy many benefits from cooperating with third-party service providers, this cooperation also raises significant concerns regarding the security of the data and resources these vendors have access to. In this article, we discuss why financial institutions hire independent contractors and what cybersecurity risks this cooperation entails. We also explore how building a third-party vendor risk management program can help you mitigate these risks.

AI is moving through enterprises faster than security teams can track. Over the past year, AI privacy incidents have risen 56%, and most of those stem from tools security never knew were in use. 84% of SaaS tools are purchased outside IT, and 62% of CISOs say fewer than a quarter of AI tools in use have been approved through procurement. That means sensitive, regulated, or confidential data is often flowing to AI services invisibly, sometimes across borders, without governance or guardrails.

This release raises the bar for enterprise-grade vulnerability and exposure management. We’re delivering on the promise of smarter, faster risk reduction powered by automation, enriched data, and operational depth. From fix-level SLA tracking to scalable API workflows and stakeholder-ready reporting, every enhancement is designed to help teams do more with less, and prove it. Here’s a breakdown of some of the major product updates from Q2 2025.

Just do it. Think different. The happiest place on earth. Nike, Apple, Disney are three iconic brands that have forever cemented themselves in our consciousness. How did they get there? A catchy slogan? A flashy logo? Sure, while slogans and logos change over time, they still make an impact. But what truly secures a brand’s reputation is trust. And trust is built over years, even decades, through consistency, authenticity, and relentless effort.
