In this brand new episode of Cybersecurity Under Pressure: Real Attacks, Real Lessons, Alex and Sarah tackle why traditional monthly patching cycles are failing modern enterprises. Prompted by actively exploited edge vulnerabilities, they argue for a radical shift toward a KEV-first operations strategy. This episode covers how to prioritize external exploitation signals over CVSS scores, enforce emergency change windows for internet-facing services, and apply rapid compensating controls to maintain NIS2 compliance when patches cannot be immediately deployed.
