Vulnerability Management Is Broken (Here's How to Fix It) - WC #1
SC Media, Thursday, July 2nd, 2026
Traditional vulnerability management drowns teams in noise while missing the vulnerabilities attackers actually exploit.
This webcast argues that conventional vulnerability management programs fail despite their complexity, generating excessive findings while missing critical exploitable risks.
Speakers highlight the disconnect between CVE databases and real-world exploitation, noting that CVSS and EPSS scoring have prioritization flaws and that only a small share of CVEs actually matter.
Asset visibility gaps, default credentials, and authentication failures remain invisible to standard scanners, and penetration tests reveal different issues than scans.
The presenters advocate shifting from volume-based scanning toward intelligence-driven, asset-focused approaches that prioritize genuine business risk.
