GoKawiilSecurity experts say CVE volume is overwhelming legacy vulnerability management systems
Empirical Security founder Jay Jacobs described how one organization's vulnerability management system collapsed after September's Patch Tuesday, unable to handle the volume despite fewer than 1,000 CVEs spread across tens of millions of vulnerable assets. Industry voices say record-breaking Patch Tuesdays, emergency fixes, and AI-driven vulnerability discovery are pushing security teams toward prioritization frameworks like CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list and VulnCheck's KEV catalog rather than raw vulnerability scores.
