Chris (finally!) adds his insights to the 2023 Press Reset cybersecurity research report, especially how its findings impact vulnerability and patch prioritization processes — do you shoot for mission critical systems, active exploits, or something else first? — and why asset visibility lies at the core of every security framework on the planet.Join the conversation online on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/company/Ivanti)
