| AI in Vulnerability Management: The Sweat, the Soul, and the Signal |
September 26th, 2025, Noon Central
| Can AI transform the age-old problem of vulnerability management? With vulnerability exploitation now the most common attack vector for breaches, defenders are still overwhelmed with inaccurate reports, countless hours of manual effort despite having more tools than ever, and a constant struggle to prioritize what vulnerabilities truly matter in a sea of dashboards. This talk breaks down vulnerability management into its key stages of scanning, analysis and reporting, sharing where AI will remove toil, the “sweat”, humans will continue to lead, the “soul”, all to cut through the noise and give a clear “’signal”, for actionable insights on smarter, more strategic decisions in your security program. If you want to know what reporting and metrics senior leadership what’s to see, to update your vulnerability management program to stop patching over-prioritized patches based on broken CVSS ratings, and learn what areas of toil you can automate and where you’ll have to wait for the future, then this talk is for you. The exploitation of vulnerabilities is the top most common initial attack vector for bad actors. Can AI change that? Come find out. |
