The answer was rarely a missing patch: 88% of takeover paths had no software vulnerability on them, and five changes would have broken 94% of those paths. In this episode, Sherri Davidoff and Tom Pohl, LMG's Director of Penetration Testing, walk through the headline findings, why vulnerability scans miss what matters most, and what to fix first.
