You don’t need to be a Large Language AI model or cyber spy to conclude that diligent and regular vulnerability remediation is a foundational element of enterprise cyber defense. If you were to embark on a comprehensive security system design for your home, for example, you might consider alarms, video cameras, and even a guard dog, but you’d probably start by fixing the broken locks on your first floor windows. And that’s exactly the same thought process enterprises should adopt when defending themselves against an ever-expanding and sophisticated pool of attackers.
Much more commonly, it’s the CISO and senior cybersecurity professionals that serve as the CEO’s scapegoat in the event of a major breach. Yet, it’s voluntary resignations that are primarily responsible for CISOs holding the lowest average tenure figure among C-suite executives, lasting just 26 months compared to 5.3 years for their C-level counterparts.
So even with the knowledge that 98 out of 100 patches are safe to deploy, remediation teams are unlikely to modify their processes to patch more aggressively any more than the average person would change their decision to play Russian Roulette with a gun with 100 chambers and only 2 live bullets.

As an IT or cybersecurity pro, much like a closer in baseball, you’re only the star of the movie when you fail, and when you succeed, it’s expected, and let’s face it, unappreciated. Day-in and day-out, that ain’t easy.
Trackd’s software is like an Angie’s list or Google reviews for security software. It tracks past performance of security software updates by users, helping operators identify which patches might be disruptive when applied in their environment, and which are safe to designate for auto-patching.
Mike, our founder and CEO, took care of that differentiation thing on day one, pitch-deck slide one, prototype one. Nobody’s doing what we’re doing, and to quote an enthusiastic visitor to our booth at last week’s FutureCon show outside DC, “I can’t believe no one’s thought of this…”
“Innovation in vulnerability management has been scarce over the past decade, and trackd is blowing up that narrative with a solution that we believe can have a material impact on remediation timeframes,” noted Geoff Gilton SVP, Technology at Service Credit Union, an early adopter and design partner. “We’re excited to be part of the process to bring this technology to the infosec community.”
There’s a new IT generation emerging in the manufacturing world. We had a few conversations with young IT professionals eagerly anticipating the imminent retirement of legacy IT leadership that lived in a world where IT and security were necessary evils, chronically underfunded, and an afterthought.
