Why Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) Increases Your Security Debt, and How You Can Fix It

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.

The Essential Guide to Vulnerability Management Tools

Vulnerability management programs attempt to identify and correct software vulnerabilities before they pose a significant threat to an organization’s cybersecurity. To learn more about how to design and implement a vulnerability management program, check out these resources: This article describes the tools that an organization will need to implement an effective vulnerability management program.

Emerging Threat: FortiJump (CVE-2024-47575)

CVE-2024-47575, also known as FortiJump, is a critical (9.8) missing authentication vulnerability affecting critical functions in FortiManager and FortiManager Cloud versions. Threat researcher Kevin Beaumont published a blog post on October 22nd, 2024 identifying this vulnerability as a zero day. This vulnerability is separate from CVE-2024-23113, which also affects FortiGate devices.

Understanding CVE-2024-47176: Mitigating CUPS Vulnerabilities

The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) is a widely used printing system on Unix-like operating systems, but recent vulnerabilities have exposed significant risks. The most critical is CVE-2024-47176, which affects the cups-browsed service by binding to the IP address INADDR_ANY:631. This configuration flaw causes it to trust all incoming packets, leading to potential remote code execution when interacting with malicious printers. This vulnerability is part of a chain of exploits, including.

The FortiManager RCE Vulnerability - The 443 Podcast - Episode 311

This week on the podcast, we review Fortinet's recently-disclosed remote code execution vulnerability in the FortiManager system that has been under active exploit since at least June. After that, we discuss the SEC's recent action against 4 companies found at fault for misleading security incident disclosure statements. The 443 Security Simplified is a weekly podcast that gets inside the minds of leading white-hat hackers and security researchers, covering the latest cybersecurity headlines and trends.

Best Practices for Continuous Vulnerability Management

Continuous vulnerability management is not just a best practice—it's a necessity. With so many open-source dependencies to choose from (almost 3 million on the npm registry!), it’s no wonder supply chain security incidents are the focus of malicious actors. Let’s not forget the rise of ChatGPT, LLM chatbots, and AI-assisted code generation.

Top 5 SAST Auto-fixing Tools and How They Compare

7 hours. That’s how long, on average, a developer takes to remediate a security issue in their code. Vulnerability detection is improving rapidly and scaling, but remediating security risks is still a tedious, time-consuming process that takes developers away from their core work. And now, with AI-generated code introducing vulnerabilities at greater speed and volume than ever before, remediation is taking even more time.
