As we ease into the long weekend, here’s a quick, easy read for anyone in security who’s tired of drowning in CVEs. (Spoiler: The problem usually isn’t the CVEs, it’s the attack paths hiding between them.) If you’ve ever looked at a vulnerability list and thought, “This can’t possibly be the real risk,” you’re right. Attackers don’t exploit single issues… they chain them. And that’s why traditional vulnerability management keeps leaving teams exposed. In this blog, we break down Attack Path Mapping (APM): A more modern way to understand how exposures actually connect across your environment. A few highlights you can skim in minutes: ⭕ Why CVE-centric approaches miss the big picture ⭕ How attack paths reveal what’s reachable and impactful ⭕ Why proactive validation matters more than ever ⭕ How security + engineering teams can finally align on what to fix first If you want something digestible to read between leftovers and downtime, this one’s worth the scroll. Don’t wait for a CVE to become a crisis. See why attack paths are becoming the future of cyber exposure management.

Today’s one of those days where you should not be thinking about vulnerability backlogs, patch windows, or which scanner broke last night. That’s exactly why a managed vulnerability management service delivers ROI long before you even start calculating dollars saved — it gives your team one less thing to worry about on days like this. Our latest post breaks down the real return on outsourcing the heavy lift of vulnerability management: ⭕ Eliminating tool sprawl ⭕ Cutting down triage noise ⭕ Shrinking exposure windows ⭕ Freeing your team to focus on strategic work instead of babysitting scanners If your “DIY VM” approach is quietly draining hours, budget, and sanity, this is the read you’ll be thankful for today: What’s the Return on Investment of a Managed Vulnerability Management Service?

If you’ve been trying to separate real security value from all the AI marketing noise, this one’s for you. Our Senior Data Scientist Adrienne Juett will break down how to use AI to cut through noise, sharpen prioritization, and focus on vulnerabilities that actually matter. ⭕ Happening Thursday, December 4 at 1 PM ET You can reserve your spot here: https://lnkd.in/eMdHppVa We know tomorrow’s a holiday, enjoy the downtime — see you next week!

💡 We said it 5 years ago: The definition and volume of vulnerabilities have changed exponentially, the market is evolving from managing vulnerabilities into managing “exposures.” Five years later, we are proud to be named as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Exposure Assessment Platforms. We believe the next wave of innovation is the convergence of data science and offensive security, and we are on the forefront of this next disruption.

Security teams don’t need more AI talk. They need proof it actually improves decisions. On Thursday, December 4 at 1:00 PM ET, NopSec is hosting a live session that shows exactly what trustworthy, measurable AI looks like in vulnerability management. What you’ll learn: ⭕ How to spot when “AI” is just CVSS re-labeled ⭕ Why some risk scoring models inflate critical findings instead of clarifying them ⭕ How AI can reduce false positives and surface what’s truly exploitable ⭕ Ways to validate whether a model’s output aligns with real attacker behavior ⭕ How better scoring accelerates evidence-based remediation Featuring NopSec’s Senior Data Scientist Adrienne Juett and Director of Solution Engineering Rob Johnson. If you’re leading security, managing vulnerability teams, or evaluating AI-driven tools, this is one you shouldn’t miss. Save your spot: Link in the comments!

⭕ Happening TODAY If you're responsible for security strategy, prioritization, or reporting up to the C-Suite, you don’t want to miss this. In one hour, we’re covering how to: 🔺 Move beyond volume-based exposure metrics 🔺 Map real attacker behavior with AI-driven attack paths 🔺 Tie vulnerabilities to business impact (not guesswork) 🔺 Show measurable risk reduction your board will actually understand Today, Nov 21 at 12:00 PM ET NopSec was just named as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Exposure Assessment Platforms — and we’re going live to break down what we believe this means for modern risk leaders. Save your spot: Link in the comments Featuring: Tim Brown, CISO at SolarWinds Lisa Xu, CEO at NopSec See you there!

Security teams are overwhelmed with “critical” findings, noisy scanners, and AI claims that don’t translate into real-world risk reduction. Our upcoming webinar shows you how to cut through the noise. Join NopSec Senior Data Scientist Adrienne Juett and Director of Solution Engineering Rob Johnson as they break down what good #AI actually looks like in vulnerability management— and how to validate whether a platform meaningfully reduces exposure. In this session, you’ll learn how to: ⭕ Tell the difference between AI that drives real signal vs. AI that just re-labels CVSS ⭕ Spot when risk scoring is inflating “critical” findings instead of clarifying them ⭕ Use AI-driven scoring to reduce false positives and highlight what’s actually exploitable ⭕ Validate model outputs against real attacker behavior ⭕ Make faster, evidence-based remediation decisions your team and leadership can trust When? Thursday, December 4th, at 1:00 PM ET If you want smarter visibility, cleaner signals, and real confidence in your risk scoring—this session is for you. Registration link in the comments!

Being named a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Exposure Assessment Platforms is more than a recognition for NopSec — we feel it’s a reflection of where exposure management is heading. In our upcoming webinar, we’ll cover: ⭕ Why Gartner® positioned NopSec as a Visionary ⭕ How we’re innovating in risk scoring, attack path visualization, and remediation orchestration ⭕ What this means for organizations looking to mature their exposure management program Reserve your spot here: https://lnkd.in/e9fXVD26

Cyber threats evolve fast. We believe exposure management must evolve faster. That’s why we’re excited to share that NopSec has been named as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Exposure Assessment Platforms Download the full report → Link in the comments!

The Gartner 2025 Magic Quadrant for Exposure Assessment Platforms is out — and NopSec appears in the Visionary quadrant. In our upcoming webinar, we discuss what we believe this means for security and risk leaders, and why the real takeaway isn’t the label. It’s the direction the market is moving. Most platforms still measure exposure by volume. NopSec takes a different approach — one centered on business impact, attacker behavior, and visibility that teams can act on immediately. On November 21, we’re hosting a live discussion on what we believe this shift means for your program and how to apply these principles inside your own organization. We’ll cover: ⭕ How Exposure Assessment is evolving — and why it matters for 2025 planning ⭕ Ways to correlate attacker behavior, asset criticality, and business context to cut through noise ⭕ How AI-driven attack path mapping helps visualize real exposure ⭕ Translating vulnerability data into metrics your C-Suite understands Speakers: Tim Brown, CISO, SolarWinds Lisa Xu, CEO, NopSec Friday, Nov 21, 2025 12:00 PM ET Registration link in the comments!
