In the annals of modern conflict, the Korean War and the Balkans Wars represent significant yet often overlooked episodes overshadowed by larger or more prolonged military engagements. Both conflicts serve as pivotal points of geopolitical and geostrategic recalibration in their respective eras. The Korean War (1950-1953) and the Balkans Wars (1989-2002) not only reconfigured regional power dynamics but also redefined global strategic paradigms.

Knowledge without action is a missed opportunity. Assessing vulnerabilities and prioritizing risks are crucial first steps, but true security is achieved only when exposures are effectively addressed. Mobilization, the ability to act swiftly and decisively, is the third and final pillar of an effective exposure management program. In this last installment of the “Like Your Organization Depended On It” series, we’ll explore why mobilization is the linchpin of a proactive security strategy.

Identifying vulnerabilities is just the first step in exposure management. The real challenge lies in determining which ones matter most and addressing them without wasting resources or disrupting operations. With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated and pervasive, the ability to prioritize exposures effectively is crucial.

Without an accurate understanding of vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposures, the journey toward reducing risk and maintaining a resilient infrastructure cannot begin. Effective assessment means more than just running periodic scans or generating a list of vulnerabilities. It requires a comprehensive, real-time understanding of the configurations, tools, and attack surfaces that define your organization’s environment.

Astra TaylorOn election night, before Harris’s loss set in, some exit polls showed that “democracy” was a top concern for voters. Many liberals took the result as an auspicious sign. But what is democracy? That was the title of a documentary I made during the 2016 presidential campaign. As I conducted dozens of interviews across the United States over many months, I learned that there was hardly a consensus over the word’s meaning.

One of the biggest dilemmas for security teams is when to patch vulnerabilities. This is a classic "Patch-22" situation-patching immediately can be time-consuming and disruptive, but waiting leaves your organization exposed to cyber threats. It's a tough balancing act between fixing vulnerabilities and maintaining business continuity. With cyberattacks evolving and becoming more frequent, waiting to patch is a risk that organizations can no longer afford to take.

Organizations are constantly faced with the challenge of addressing vulnerabilities and threats to maintain a secure environment. Two common strategies to aide in this are remediation and mitigation, both of which aim to reduce risk but with different approaches and timelines. Understanding the distinction between these strategies-and knowing when to apply each-can be crucial for effective threat management.

Kunreuther’s early work on the siting of hazardous facilities has made a lasting contribution. A little more than three decades ago, Howard Kunreuther, together with colleagues Kevin Fitzgerald and Thomas Aarts, offered a series of fourteen guidelines to parties seeking to site a potentially contentious facility.

False positives are one of the most significant yet often overlooked challenges. When a security alert signals a potential threat that turns out to be benign, security teams are left scrambling to investigate a non-issue. While it may seem like a minor inconvenience, the cumulative effect of false positives can be overwhelming. Not only do they drain resources, but they also lead to alert fatigue, reduce efficiency, and introduce the potential for real threats to go unnoticed.
