It reflects a move from managing individual vulnerabilities to managing systemic exposure across the enterprise. The traditional approach is linear and reactive, one where teams scan, triage, create tickets and remediate, often across disconnected tools and workflows.
When a critical vulnerability or breach emerges, this model quickly turns into a control room. Security, development, operations and infrastructure teams are pulled in simultaneously. Meanwhile, data must be gathered from multiple systems, ownership is unclear and decisions are made under pressure. It can take days, sometimes weeks, to fully understand the impact and coordinate a response.
