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.

Most organisations track vulnerability management metrics. Far fewer track metrics that change anything. This episode examines what to measure, where each metric delivers the most value, and why programmes that solve for security have no difficulty during audits while those that solve for compliance struggle to demonstrate whether they are reducing risk at all.

Vulnerability Management programmes rarely fail because individual components are weak. They fail because the people, processes, and technology were designed independently and have drifted apart under operational pressure. Episode 4 of the CAXA Technologies Security Operations Series examines the operating model that turns pillar capabilities into operational reality, and provides a diagnostic framework for identifying where misalignment is constraining your programme.

Buying a better scanner doesn't help if your asset inventory has significant gaps. This episode examines the five pillars every VM programme depends on, maps how they interact as a dependency chain, and explains why the visible symptom is often far from the actual constraint.

Every vulnerability takes a journey through your organisation. This episode examines the seven stages of that lifecycle and reveals where programmes typically stall. Understanding this journey is the first step to making it shorter.

Vulnerability management extends beyond patching, but most programmes plateau before becoming truly risk-informed. This opening episode examines why the fundamentals of asset visibility, prioritisation rigour, and remediation ownership determine programme effectiveness far more than tooling investments.
