Security Tip: Move beyond CVSS for patch management. 🛡️ A CVSS 9.8 vulnerability in an isolated lab is often less urgent than a CVSS 7.5 with a public exploit in your DMZ. Use risk-based prioritization to focus your team's energy where it actually reduces risk. Tracking exploit trends and threat intelligence is key to staying ahead.

Security Tip: Refine your patch management with EPSS. 🛡️ While CVSS measures severity, the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) helps you understand the likelihood of a vulnerability being used in an attack. By combining both, you can prioritize patches that address the highest actual risk to your environment rather than just the highest theoretical impact.
