Risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) is an approach that focuses on prioritizing vulnerability remediation based on risk. RBVM prioritizes remediating vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to an organization. While some organizations depend solely on independent scoring methodologies like CVSS or EPSS, effective RBVM takes into consideration the business criticality of assets and ties in threat intelligence to make prioritization decisions.

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.
