The blog post introduces a new infographic detailing the PCI DSS vulnerability management processes, emphasizing the importance of effective management in maintaining compliance and security. It provides insights into the steps necessary for identifying, addressing, and mitigating vulnerabilities to protect sensitive payment data.

CVSS is often misused as the sole metric for prioritizing vulnerabilities, leading to ineffective vulnerability management. To address its limitations, organizations should adopt risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM), which incorporates business context and prioritizes vulnerabilities based on real-world exploitation potential and impact. This approach allows security teams to focus on the most critical threats, improving overall efficiency and resource allocation.
