Patch management needs a revolution, part 3: Vulnerability scores and the concept of trust

This is the third part of Vincent Danen’s “Patch management needs a revolution” series.Patch management needs a revolution, part 1: Surveying cybersecurity’s lineagePatch management needs a revolution, part 2: The flood of vulnerabilitiesVulnerability ratings are the foundation for a good risk-based vulnerability management program, especially if they’re from a trusted party.
