What is a Threat? Today’s cybersecurity landscape roils with an endless stream of potential threats—from malware that plants dangerous executables in your software and ransomware that locks up your systems to specially targeted hacker attacks. All of these threats look for a way in, a vulnerability in your environment that they can exploit. Some threats, however, hold more potential for exploitation than others. The more rich, fresh data you can access and analyze about these threats, the more strategic and impactful decisions you can make regarding your vulnerability management and remediation.
