Insight #1: The NIST CVE backlog is hogtying CISOs

The NIST CVE backlog is a digital plague crippling a critical control layer in an organization's cybersecurity architecture. CISOs and security leaders are left scrambling, their defenses undermined by the very agency tasked with providing threat intelligence. Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, vulnerability scanners — in short,  billions of dollars in security investment — have been rendered even more reactive and inaccurate. The situation has given malicious actors the upper hand. This backlog throws sand in the gears of these tools, leaving gaping holes in defenses. It's a systemic failure leaving organizations vulnerable.
