The Often-Overlooked Truth in #Cybersecurity: Seeing the Unseen in Vulnerability Management

Most successful breaches don't happen because defenders ignored known vulnerabilities. They happen because attackers exploited assets that organizations never knew existed.

HD‏​​​​​​​​​​‏ ⁢​​​​Moore, founder and CEO of runZero and creator of #Metasploit, reveals the uncomfortable truth: organizations routinely miss half their actual attack surface. Through decades of penetration testing high-security environments, Moore discovered that traditional discovery methods only find properly managed systems while #shadowIT, legacy hardware, and misconfigured devices remain invisible.

Key insights from our conversation:

• When using attacker-grade discovery techniques, asset counts typically DOUBLE what organizations thought they had

• The industry's CVE obsession creates false security while real attacks exploit misconfigurations and zero-days

• Unknown assets—from IoT devices to forgotten servers—bypass even sophisticated security controls

• Traditional agent-based tools can't see what attackers see

#RunZero inverts the traditional model by starting with unauthenticated discovery that mirrors how attackers actually probe networks. This reveals the true attack surface and transforms vulnerability management from reactive patching to strategic risk reduction.

In the scope of GCVE and @circl we couldn't find a practical, publicly available, and accessible document that outlines best practices for vulnerability handling and disclosure.

So we created a new one, released under an open-source license, to which everyone can freely contribute.
