Threat and Vulnerability Management in 2026

The report argues that traditional, volume-based vulnerability management cannot keep pace with modern exploitation and urges adoption of intelligence-driven Threat and Vulnerability Management (TVM). It emphasizes continuous asset discovery, external threat context enrichment, risk-based prioritization, and automated remediation to cut alert fatigue and focus on actively exploited, high-impact risks. Strategic guidance includes aligning Security and IT on a shared risk language, integrating automation into workflows, and measuring time-to-remediate, positioning solutions like Recorded Future’s Vulnerability Intelligence and Attack Surface Intelligence as the backbone for proactive, attacker-aware risk reduction.
