How to Outpace Vulnerability Exploits
In this blog learn why the time-to-exploit a vulnerability is beating time-to-remediate and what you can do about it.
Closing the vulnerability gap
Every security team faces the same question when a new vulnerability is disclosed: is it exploitable in our environment? What follows is often a scramble. Security Operations pulls CVE details, vulnerability management teams update software, new detection signatures are created and tested, and engineering teams support all of the above and more.

While this happens, attackers are already automating scans, testing exploit code, and targeting unpatched infrastructure.

The time between disclosure and exploitation is shrinking, but the time between exposure and remediation is often not. This gap, known as the vulnerability intelligence gap, is where many incidents begin. It is not caused by a lack of data; it is caused by delays in translating vulnerability information into actionable decisions.

Closing that gap requires more than patching. It requires a system that connects original research to real-time discovery and exposure validation that happens before attackers reach your infrastructure, and a process that turns research into risk reduction without waiting for threat intelligence feeds or vendor bulletins.

Attack Surface Management (ASM), when supported by embedded research and proactive validation, can close this gap. It moves detection closer to discovery and reduces the time between knowing about a threat and protecting against it.

This blog ties into the release of our brand new eBook “ASM in the Age of CTEM.” To learn more about building a mature ASM program download the eBook.
