Latest Cybersecurity Blog Posts from Root Evidence

Vulnerability management is broken. 100+ security pros reveal why CVEs, bad tooling, and poor risk context are overwhelming teams.

Discover the concept of “nulns”—non-exploitable vulnerabilities often mistaken as risks. Learn why most security flaws may never lead to real-world breaches.

Critique color-coded vulnerability scoring like CVSS. Shift to economic KPIs for better cybersecurity decisions—align security with business impact.

Master evidence-based vulnerability prioritization with the Triangle model. Focus on exploitability, adversary activity, and losses to reduce breaches effectively.

Understand the difference between vulnerability exploitation and actual financial loss in cybersecurity. Discover why not all exploits lead to breaches and how to focus on real risks.

Does prioritizing EPSS over KEVs make sense in vulnerability management? Analyze the debate, FIRST guidance, and best practices for effective risk prioritization. Read the full analysis.

Find the remediation cut-off in vulnerability management. Compare models and cyber-insurance insights for defining when to stop patching.

Why zero-days are irrelevant in vulnerability management discussions. Focus on known CVEs for enterprise risk—separate myths from effective strategies.

Post-breach, justify your vulnerability prioritization strategy. Learn defensible approaches using KEVs, compliance, and risk assessment to explain decisions to stakeholders.

Discover the missing KPI in vulnerability management: Forcing adversaries to innovate. Analyze data showing only 1.3% of CVEs are exploited and how to shift attack economics.

Uncover paradoxes in vulnerability management: Does fixing flaws always reduce risk? Explore scenarios, costs, and alternatives for smarter remediation strategies.

Explore why financially motivated hackers rarely innovate, reusing known vulnerabilities for efficiency. Data from VulnCheck and reports reveal only 1.1% of CVEs are exploited—learn more.

Embrace security optimism: Focus on evidence-based fixes for known vulnerabilities. Raise attack costs and protect against breaches with actionable strategies.

Debunk the myth of objective security scoring like CVSS and EPSS. Learn why subjectivity persists and how to validate models with real-world breach data.
