Facing the Reality of Risk Prioritization - Bianca Lewis (BiaSciLab), Dan DeCloss - PSW #819

Public information about exploits and vulnerabilities alone is not enough to inform prioritization, especially with the growing rate and variety of CVEs. Dan DeCloss, founder and CTO of PlexTrac, joins the show to discuss solving the challenges of risk prioritization to drive faster, more strategic assessment cycles. Spoiler: The key is adding context and prioritization to risk-scoring equations.
