From Scans to CTEM: The Evolution of Vulnerability Management

Happy 100 to #LTAPod, and thank you to all our listeners for tuning in over the years. 🥳

Mark and Rohan break down the evolution of vulnerability management—from its origins in basic scanning and CVSS scoring to today’s converged, risk-aware, and exposure-driven approaches. They explore how traditional VM evolved into Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM), how Unified Vulnerability Management (UVM) emerged to handle silos in AppSec and InfraSec, and how Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) reframes the conversation around what truly matters to the business. The episode offers a practical roadmap for security teams seeking to shift from drowning in findings to prioritizing by risk and validating exposure—at the pace of modern software.
