Comprehensive SBOMs are a MUST! Are you sure your SBOMs are capturing all of the components from the build AND deployed systems? Crowdstrike "like" news CAN be avoided!

The author of this article raises an important point about the need to reevaluate our current approaches to vulnerability management based on the NVD limitations. I also heard various opinions from cyber professionals last week at RSA, including the following strategies to ensure our collective security efforts remain effective: 1. Encourage more organizations and researchers to contribute vulnerability data to the NVD, ensuring the database remains comprehensive and up-to-date. 2.Streamline Vulnerability Disclosure Establish clear guidance and channels for vulnerability disclosure to expedite the process of publishing vulnerability information, enabling organizations to patch and remediate issues more quickly. 3.Integration with Threat Intelligence Combine vulnerability data from the NVD with threat intelligence feeds to provide a more holistic view of the risk landscape, helping organizations prioritize their mitigation efforts more effectively. 4 ML for Predictive Analytics. Leverage machine learning techniques to analyze historical vulnerability data and identify patterns, enabling organizations to anticipate and prepare for emerging threats more effectively. 5.More ISAOs- Collaboration and Information Sharing. Foster an even greater cybersecurity culture of collaboration and information sharing within the cybersecurity community, encouraging organizations to work together to identify, assess, and mitigate vulnerabilities more effectively. I agree that by adopting these strategies and adapting our processes to the ever-changing dynamics of vulnerability management, we can strengthen our collective security efforts and maintain the integrity of our cybersecurity defenses.
