Sponsored Register piece argues traditional vulnerability management cannot scale with CVE volume and promotes Continuous Threat Exposure Management via Horizon3's NodeZero.

The sponsored article cites surging CVE volumes, CVSS triage shortcomings, NVD backlog, and AI-driven discovery accelerating an asymmetric vulnerability cycle. It outlines Gartner's five CTEM steps - scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization - and describes how Horizon3's NodeZero automated pentesting validates exploitable attack paths with evidence. Horizon3 says NodeZero uses a deterministic machine learning expert system rather than general LLMs, limiting generative AI to scoped tasks via AWS Bedrock.

Key facts
  • Microsoft patch cycles exceed 500 fixes, overwhelming manual prioritization
  • Commerce Department report criticized NVD management and suggested dropping CVSS
  • CTEM framework spans scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization
  • NodeZero performs chain-of-attack penetration testing with attacker-style lateral pivoting
