What is risk-based vulnerability management?

Risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) is the process of identifying, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities based on business risk, exploitability, and asset importance rather than just severity scores.

Why move from CVSS-based to risk-based prioritization?

CVSS only measures theoretical severity. RBVM helps teams prioritize based on which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited and which would have the most impact on the business if breached.

What data does RBVM use to calculate risk?

RBVM platforms typically use data from vulnerability scanners, threat intelligence, business context (like asset criticality), and scoring systems like CVSS and EPSS to calculate risk.

How does RBVM support security and IT teams?

RBVM helps security teams focus on vulnerabilities that matter most and enables IT teams to track and resolve issues with better prioritization, workflows, and SLA alignment.

What role does Brinqa play in RBVM?

Brinqa provides a platform that unifies scanner data, enriches it with exploit intelligence and asset context, and orchestrates prioritized remediation workflows integrated with tools like ServiceNow and Jira.
