Steps to Tru Risk™ – 2: Measure the Likelihood of Vulnerability Exploitation | Qualys
Summary: Qualys describes its Vulnerability Score (QVS) and Detection Score (QDS), components of TruRisk, as aggregating over 25 sources of threat intelligence to measure the likelihood of vulnerability exploitation. The post states that over half of all vulnerabilities are rated Critical or High under CVSS, while only about 3 to 4 percent of CVEs in the NVD contribute to the highest risk.
Bottom line: If more than half of your findings are labeled Critical or High but only 3 to 4 percent of CVEs carry the real risk, remediation effort is being spread across a volume that does not move the needle - and the post notes that disconnect erodes trust between IT and the security team.
