How can I optimize Vulnerability Management and improve the CHS Score using saner CVEM?

1. Prioritize Vulnerability Patching

Focus on patching vulnerabilities with Critical and High severity first.
Once critical and high-severity vulnerabilities are addressed, proceed with medium and low-severity vulnerabilities.
Give security patches the highest priority to strengthen your overall security posture.

2. Excluding Non-Released Patches

Exclude patches for assets where no vendor patch has been released.
This ensures that your patching efforts are focused on actionable updates.

3. Managing Outdated Assets

Upgrade applications to the latest available versions wherever possible.
If certain outdated applications must be retained due to dependencies, it is recommended to exclude them from patching while maintaining monitoring.

Implementing these best practices helps improve vulnerability remediation efficiency and enhances the CHS (Cyber Hygiene Score) for your environment.
