Security Insights & Industry Analysis
Practical guidance on vulnerability management, patch intelligence, penetration testing, and defending Microsoft ecosystems at scale.
Why CVSS Is Not a Patching Strategy
CVSS scores tell you about a vulnerability in isolation. They tell you nothing about your environment, your exposure, or whether it's safe to patch right now. That's a problem when your entire prioritization model depends on them.
We Have Defender – Isn't That Enough?
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is excellent telemetry. It tells you what's vulnerable. It doesn't tell you what's safe to patch, whether the fix held, or how to prove it to an auditor. Here's where the gap is.
The Spreadsheet Is Not Your Remediation Program
Most vulnerability management programs don't fail at finding problems. They fail at proving they've been fixed. The spreadsheet sitting between your pen test report and your next audit is where real risk accumulates.
Patch Tuesday Is a Starting Gun, Not a Finish Line
Every second Tuesday, Microsoft drops a wave of updates and the clock starts ticking. Most teams treat it as a sprint. It should be a system.
Your Attack Surface Is Bigger Than You Think
Forgotten subdomains, expired certificates, staging environments left open – most organizations have no idea what's actually facing the internet. That's a problem.
Finding Vulnerabilities Is Easy. Proving You Fixed Them Is the Hard Part.
Most security programs are great at discovering problems and terrible at proving they've been resolved. The remediation verification gap is where real risk lives.
Agentless Patch Management: Why We Chose Native Microsoft Integration
Deploying agents across enterprise environments introduces its own set of challenges. Here's why Patchly takes an agentless approach, leveraging native Microsoft technologies for vulnerability management.
The Case for Continuous Penetration Testing
Annual pen tests give you a snapshot. Your attack surface changes daily. Here's why continuous PTaaS is replacing traditional engagements for forward-thinking security teams.
