This episode is a replay from our sister podcast AppSec Unlocked
In today's rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, managing vulnerabilities in open-source components has become increasingly complex. While traditional approaches relying solely on CVSS scores have their merits, they may not be sufficient to address the exponential growth in discovered vulnerabilities. A more nuanced and scalable approach is needed, one that considers not only severity but also exploitability and potential impact.
