Not Every CVE Deserves a Fire Drill: Focus on What’s Exploitable

The article advocates replacing raw severity-based vulnerability prioritization with exposure validation, using breach and attack simulation and automated pentesting to test real exploitability in a given environment. By validating whether exploits exist, whether current controls block them, and whether the affected assets are critical, organizations can reduce noise from high-severity findings, focus remediation on what truly matters, and improve security outcomes.
