About this listen

In this episode, I sit with long-time vulnerability management and data science experts Jay Jacobs and Michael Roytman, who recently co-founded Empirical Security.

We dive into the state of vulnerability management, including:

  • How it is difficult to quantify and evaluate the effectiveness of vulnerability prioritization and scoring schemes, such as CVSS, EPSS, KEV, and proprietary vendor prioritization frameworks, and what can be done better
  • Systemic challenges include setbacks in the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) program, the MITRE CVE funding fiasco, and the need for a more resilient vulnerability database and reporting ecosystem.
  • Domain-specific considerations when it comes to vulnerability identifiers and vulnerability management, in areas such as AppSec, Cloud, and Configuration Management, and using data to make more effective decisions
  • The overuse of the term “single pane of glass” and some alternatives
  • Empirical’s innovative approach to “localized” models when it comes to vulnerability management, which takes unique organizational and environmental considerations into play, such as mitigating controls, threats, tooling, and more, and how they are experimenting with this new approach for the industry
