One of the biggest challenges faced by information security teams today is how to effectively prioritize their vulnerability remediation work.

Why? New vulnerabilities are disclosed every day, amounting to thousands per year.

Burdened with this overload of vulnerability disclosures, infosec teams often get overwhelmed by the task at hand and throw up their hands in frustration. After all, no IT department has enough staff and resources to promptly patch every single vulnerability within their environment.
