Gitlab: The Tyranny of Zero: is the Race to the Bottom Worth It in vulnerability management (Room D)

In the race to eliminate all vulnerabilities in cybersecurity, organisations often lose sight of what truly matters. While fixing every security hole seems ideal, the sheer volume of vulnerabilities discovered can paralyse efforts and lead to burnout. Attackers are exploiting vulnerabilities faster than they can be patched, highlighting the need for a shift from vulnerability management to exposure management. Exposure management helps companies focus on what matters to reduce their attack surface and risk exposure.
