Snyk is now detecting six vulnerabilities for every one remediated. NIST reported a 33% increase in CVE submissions in Q1 2026. According to Gartner, the average time to patch a high/critical vulnerability is 55 days (Gartner, "How to Respond to the 2026-2027 Threat Landscape," 28 May 2026).

Your external attack surface is bigger than you think, and probably bigger than it was last quarter. Cloud sprawl, third-party integrations, abandoned subdomains, and shadow IT all add up to an internet-facing footprint that’s hard to track manually. External attack surface management (EASM) tools give security teams continuous visibility over that footprint, from the same vantage point an attacker would use.

Vulnerability scanning gives security teams a starting point, but it has never been the whole picture. Scan results capture known CVEs across applications and systems, yet they say nothing about whether a given weakness is actually reachable, whether the controls around it are functioning correctly, or whether the people with access to it represent a meaningful risk. Exposure management addresses all of that.

Welcome to vulnerability management's big bang. If it feels like your security team is running a marathon on a treadmill set to a permanent incline of 12.0 with 50lb sandbags tied around each ankle, you're in good company. We have officially entered the era of the Great Vulnerability Acceleration. To put this recent synthetic bloom into perspective, consider this: in the last five years, the cybersecurity community has identified and recorded over 150,000 new vulnerabilities.

As large language models (LLMs) become more embedded in business operations, the risks and attack methods targeting them are evolving just as quickly. The 2025 edition of the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications reflects this rapid evolution, addressing the current threats facing generative AI systems in production environments. For organizations investing in LLMs, understanding the risks is crucial for deploying these systems securely.

Vulnerability remediation is the process of fixing and validating security flaws in systems, applications, or infrastructure using patches, configuration changes, or compensating controls after they are identified and prioritized.

In this exclusive fireside chat, Seemplicity CPO Ravid Circus and SANS instructor Jonathan Risto break down this critical distinction and why mastering it is vital as AI rapidly reshapes the cybersecurity threat landscape. Here’s a summary of what they covered. If you’ve been in security for any length of time, you’ve probably wondered whether exposure management is just vulnerability management with a fresh coat of paint.

CVE-2026-48172 is an incorrect privilege assignment flaw in the LiteSpeed User-End cPanel Plugin that allows any authenticated cPanel user to execute arbitrary scripts as root. The bug sits in the plugin's lsws.redisAble function, which can be invoked through the standard cPanel JSON API to run code with elevated privileges instead of the calling user's own. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v4.0 base score of 10.0 (Critical).
