As organizations continue to embrace digital transformation, their infrastructure increasingly spans cloud environments, third-party integrations, and remote work setups. This shift enhances efficiency and productivity—but also broadens the digital attack surface, creating new points of exposure to the public internet.

Managing compliance in federal IT is a critical and complex task, especially when it comes to addressing findings from security assessments. One of the key tools to bridge the gap between requirements and the current state is the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M). Required by federal security frameworks like the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) and NIST 800-53, POA&Ms are used to document security weaknesses, outline mitigation plans, and track their resolution.

In September 2024, Frost & Sullivan released its Frost Radar: Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), 2024, highlighting the leaders in this rapidly growing market. We’re proud to be recognized as a top player, reflecting our strong growth and impact in the ASPM space. Our customers use Nucleus to achieve a comprehensive and unified application security posture.

As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, the importance of Continuous Vulnerability Management (CVM) continues to grow. GigaOm’s latest Radar Report for Continuous Vulnerability Management provides an in-depth analysis of the current landscape, offering a comprehensive look at the solutions and vendors leading the charge in this critical space. The report assesses a variety of platforms based on key criteria such as feature set, ease of use, performance, and innovation.

At Nucleus Security, our goal has always been to deliver an intuitive and scalable vulnerability management platform. A critical part of this mission is ensuring that its user interface (UI) evolves to meet our customers’ needs. I’m pleased to announce that we recently rolled out an updated UI—an important first step in a series of planned improvements aimed at enhancing our users’ experience with the Nucleus platform.

Vulnerability management is often a complex task, particularly when using multiple scanning tools or dealing with the constant flow of new CVEs. Different scanners can uncover the same vulnerability but provide different insights or look at different metadata, making it look like one vulnerability is several without the proper context. We are excited to introduce the Nucleus CVEs Page, designed to enhance how your organization manages vulnerabilities across projects.

Organizations often find themselves caught in a perpetual cycle of identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating vulnerabilities that pose the most risk. Amid this ongoing battle, a significant challenge is often overlooked: security debt. Much like technical debt, security debt refers to the accumulation of unresolved vulnerabilities within an organization’s systems and software.

Imagine if your fire alarm sensor went off every time you burned your toast or lit candles on a birthday cake. After a few false alarms, you’d probably start ignoring them or even turn your sensor off just to get some peace. This is what many information security teams are experiencing with vulnerability alerts.
