The Gartner® Report on Vulnerability Exposure Management

The Gartner® research We’re Not Patching Our Way Out of Vulnerability Exposure offers a path forward emphasizing attack surface and prioritized analysis to foster collaboration between I&O and security, rather than adversarial dynamics. Access expert analysis to help infrastructure, operations, and security leaders strengthen remediation efforts and make more informed decisions about reducing risk.

Reduce Vulnerability Exposure —
Strengthen Operational Resilience

Patching alone can’t keep pace with the volume and complexity of modern vulnerabilities. In our view, this Gartner research shows why organizations must shift from a patch-centric mindset to a threat-informed, evidence-based approach that balances remediation, mitigation, and stability. As enterprises work to maintain system availability and reduce disruption, a more pragmatic, risk-aware strategy becomes essential.  

From our perspective, the research points toward:
