Integrating Threat Intelligence and Vulnerability Management: A Modern Approach

This report advocates integrating threat intelligence into vulnerability management to prioritize remediation based on real-world attacker activity, reducing MTTR and shifting from reactive to proactive defense. It details the shortcomings of siloed, severity-only VM, presents benefits of a unified approach (focused resource allocation, proactive risk mitigation, improved reporting/compliance, cross-team collaboration), offers practical integration steps (risk scoring automation, dashboards, workflow alignment, continuous improvement), and highlights Recorded Future’s Vulnerability Intelligence for real-time risk scoring, contextual insights, and integrations with VM and ITSM tools.
