The Trust Factor: How Trusted Data Drives Smarter Vulnerability and Exposure Management

Security teams are ready to act, but unreliable data is slowing them down.

While 90% of security and IT leaders say they’re ready to act when a threat appears, only 25% trust the data behind their decisions. That trust gap is slowing down remediation, misguiding prioritization, and undermining even the most sophisticated cybersecurity strategies.

Based on a survey of 500 security and IT leaders, this report exposes the disconnect between confidence and execution, and what it takes to bridge it. If you're investing in CTEM, automation, or AI, this report will give you insight into where these initiatives commonly break down and how to build the data foundation needed to make them work.

You’ll learn:

• Why only 25% of security leaders fully trust the data in their tools and how that mistrust affects remediation

• What’s driving the gap between 90% of leaders who feel prepared and the 81% who take over a day to act

• The top 5 challenges security teams face when responding to critical vulnerabilities and exposures

• How leaders are applying CTEM, automation, and AI  and where those efforts are falling short

• What high-performing teams are doing differently to prioritize, act, and close their readiness gap
