FIRST is projecting a median of 59,427 CVEs for 2026. At that volume, a process that requires a human to review each inbound finding is not a triage model — it is a queue that will never clear. Episode 8 covers vulnerability management at scale: the composite scoring model that handles automated classification, why KEV is a hard floor and not a scoring input, and where the asset inventory is still the bottleneck.

Episode 7 of the CAXA Technologies Security Operations Series If a container lives for 60 seconds and your scanner runs on a schedule, you do not have a cloud VM programme. You have a cloud visibility gap with a reporting cadence attached to it. That framing sounds extreme until you look at the data. Sysdig’s 2025 Cloud-Native Security and Usage Report found that 60% of containers now live for 60 seconds or less. In 2019, half of containers lasted at least five minutes. The t

88% of published CVEs carry an exploitation probability below 10%. If your backlog is ordered by CVSS score, most of the effort it consumes is aimed at vulnerabilities attackers are ignoring. This episode delivers a working alternative: EPSS, the CISA KEV catalogue, and SSVC applied to real CVEs.
