Handling the Stormy Sea of Vulnerabilities
We need to be risk-driven. But prioritizing vulnerabilities and being able to detect high risk becomes more challenging as the number of vulnerabilities you need to address continues to climb, as do the number of CVEs. Assessing a vulnerability’s impact by CVE score alone isn’t enough.
In this session, we’ll show you how Prisma Cloud provides a better approach to identifying the potential risk of vulnerabilities, as well as how to prioritize risk.
