Prioritizing Patching Efforts
Patching all vulnerabilities is resource-intensive, so it's important to focus on the ones that pose the most risk. Relying solely on CVSS metrics can lead to wasting time on low-risk vulnerabilities. The key is to prioritize based on exposure and exploitability. Critical vulnerabilities still need attention, but a risk-based approach is necessary to allocate limited resources effectively.
