Security Operations and the Vulnerability Shell Game – Dave Merkel – RSA23 #3

And with the number of vulnerabilities rising constantly, they can pose significant risk to organizations, especially if defenders don’t know which ones are critical. Learn how Expel is helping to pull back the curtain on how organizations can more effectively prioritize their most critical vulnerabilities.
