Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 12/13/24

Insight No. 1: Stop patching the CVE dumpster fire with Vulnrichment

It's time to integrate the crucial data — Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores and other crucial information  — from CISA's Vulnrichment program directly into the NVD. Centralize, streamline, and then focus on what really matters: runtime analysis of your applications.

Insight No. 2: Zero days don't give a damn about your CVE backlog

Assume there’s been a breach, ditch the outdated tools, and get proactive with deep visibility and context-aware detection. Detect and block attacks before they even know what hit them.

Insight No. 3: Volunteers are noble, but they won't save us from the cyber apocalypse

Cybersecurity needs serious investment, not just spare time and good intentions. Time to step up with government funding, private sector muscle and global collaboration.
