The Exploitability Intelligence Gap: What Security Teams Can Know Before CISA KEV

In this webinar, Nucleus Security CEO Steve Carter and Product Marketing Lead Tally Netzer break down the growing “exploitability intelligence gap” and what it means for modern vulnerability and exposure management programs. Drawing from six months of research and real-world vulnerability data, they explore how attacker timelines have compressed, why traditional reactive workflows are struggling to keep pace, and where organizations are missing critical signals before exploitation begins.

Watch the session to learn how security teams can adapt their prioritization strategies, identify earlier indicators of exploitability, and build a more proactive approach to reducing exposure risk before attackers strike.
