Resource Management: RBVM allows organizations to allocate resources wisely. It’s not just about fixing everything but about making calculated decisions. Sometimes, quick actions, like patching vulnerabilities, are necessary, even without extensive analysis.
Balancing Act: The webinar addressed the balance between data overload and comprehensive information needs. While having more data is beneficial, organizations should balance informed decisions and time-sensitive actions.
Collaboration and Openness: Rahim Jain emphasized the value of community-driven efforts in RBVM. Sharing knowledge and insights within the cybersecurity community can help organizations make more informed decisions and adapt to evolving threats.
