Keeping the Pace: Innovation Insights - Vulnerability Prioritization

Key Takeaways

CVSS isn't a prioritization strategy
Severity scores don't equal exploitability—without context, teams end up chasing “high” findings that attackers can't actually use.
Execution-aware reachability cuts the noise
Prioritise what actually runs to surface the small set of vulnerabilities that are realistically exploitable—often dramatically reducing false urgency.
Make it repeatable across firmware + software
Use execution paths and privilege boundaries to identify exploitable routes, then operationalize it as a scalable workflow for VM, product security, and incident response.
