Patching quickly remains important, but accelerating vulnerability discovery means security teams may never be able to remediate everything before attackers can find it.
That makes exposure a critical part of prioritization. A critical vulnerability on an isolated test server may present less immediate risk than a medium vulnerability on an internet-facing system that attackers can reach. Severity alone doesn't tell the whole story.
When vulnerability volume keeps growing, should exposure and reachability outweigh raw severity when deciding what to fix first?
