From Autonomous IT by Automox

About this episode
This episode discusses the challenges of vulnerability scoring and how Automox is addressing the gap in CVE data for IT and security teams.
NIST is falling behind on vulnerability scoring — and the gap is growing. In this episode, Peter and Steph break down what that means for IT and security teams relying on CVE data to prioritize patching, and how Automox is solving it. We cover: Why NIST's National Vulnerability Database has a growing backlog and what's causing it How incomplete vulnerability data creates blind spots in your patch management program Automox's new partnership with VulnCheck to deliver real-time vulnerability intelligence What KEV (Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities) data is and why your leadership team cares about it Expanding from fewer than 10 third-party apps to 70% coverage across 500+ supported applications The rollout plan from third-party apps to macOS, Windows, and Linux Whether you're running a mature vulnerability management program or just getting started, this episode lays out how the vulnerability data landscape is shifting and what you can do to stay ahead of real-world threats.
