It was like the Wild West. We have thousands upon thousands or hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities that show up in scans. What Skybox does is look at vulnerabilities in the context of all the other things in the network to produce a risk assessment and that’s what allows us to prioritize the vulnerabilities that need to be fixed.”
