Are you a CISO tired of playing whack-a-mole with vulnerabilities? Do you struggle to maintain an accurate asset inventory in today’s sprawling IT environments? Is identifying coverage gaps or prioritising remediation efforts a constant uphill battle? You’re not alone. The traditional approaches to vulnerability management are buckling under the weight of modern cyber risks.

The Pain Points Are Real

Today’s CISOs and CIOs face unprecedented challenges:

• Exploding Attack Surface: Cloud adoption, IoT devices, and distributed workforces have expanded potential entry points, increasing the difficulty of capturing a comprehensive view of all assets.

• Vulnerability Overload: With thousands of new vulnerabilities discovered daily, understanding which assets are at greatest risk is complex and time-consuming.

• Siloed Security Tools: Data spread across spreadsheets, security platforms, and third-party systems often results in incomplete insights and diminished risk visibility.

• Lack of Context and Accuracy: Pinpointing risky or non-compliant assets demands correlated data from multiple sources, but such correlation can be an enormous manual effort.

• Regulatory Pressures: Non-compliance can lead to significant fines, requiring more accurate and auditable vulnerability management practices.

Is Unified Vulnerability Management Enough?

Many are turning to Unified Vulnerability Management (UVM) or broader solutions like Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) to streamline inventory, risk prioritisation, and remediation. But do they truly solve the underlying challenges of data correlation, coverage gap detection, and automated risk mitigation?

This roundtable brings together CIOs and CISOs to critically examine whether unifying vulnerability management truly addresses the day-to-day demands of security leaders—or if new complexities arise in the process.
