GoKawiilOpinion: Enterprise vulnerability backlogs stem from accountability gaps, not scanning tools
A cybersecurity opinion piece argues that the growing vulnerability backlogs plaguing enterprises are primarily caused by unclear ownership and remediation bottlenecks, not inadequate detection technology. The author describes how adding better scanning tools often increases the number of discovered vulnerabilities without improving fix rates, since remediation depends on engineering hours, change windows, and patch availability rather than licensing upgrades. The piece notes that organizations measuring success by open-finding counts can be incentivized to avoid expanding visibility altogether.
