Fragmented Tooling Slows Vulnerability Management
Help Net Security, Friday, November 28th, 2025
Security leaders know vulnerability backlogs are rising, but new data shows how quickly the gap between exposures and available resources is widening, according to a new report by Hackuity.
Fragmented detection and slow remediation
Organizations use a formalized approach to manage vulnerabilities, but their tooling remains fragmented. Respondents rely on an average of four detection tools, and cloud or container configuration audits are the most common at 85%. This mix suggests broad coverage, but it also explains why teams struggle with visibility, correlation of findings, and consistent prioritization.
