Beyond Patch Tuesday: Closing the Vulnerability Window

AI is speeding up how vulnerabilities are found, which helps defenders spot weaknesses earlier but also creates more findings, more remediation decisions and more pressure on security and IT teams that are already stretched. This CyberOne session argues that finding a vulnerability is only the start, and looks at how to build a proactive strategy around active remediation.

It covers how to prioritise by combining severity with evidence of active exploitation, internet exposure, asset criticality and the strength of existing controls. It also covers who owns remediation across security, IT operations, application owners and the business, including who can approve delays and accept residual risk, and which metrics show real progress rather than raw patch counts.

It comes from a managed security provider, so the approach leans towards continuous, risk-based remediation as a service, but the prioritisation and ownership advice applies to any in-house team.
