Your question is Run a Vulnerability Management Program. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

Problem

Scenario

You support an environment with cloud workloads, employee endpoints, containerized applications, and a small on-prem footprint. The organization already uses Tenable Vulnerability Management for external and internal asset visibility, Tenable Nessus for targeted assessments, and Tenable Web App Scanning for internet-facing applications, but teams are frustrated by duplicate findings, unclear prioritization, and recurring critical exposures. A recent incident review showed that a known exploitable vulnerability remained unremediated because ownership and verification were unclear.

Question

How would you describe your experience building or operating a vulnerability management program in an environment like this, and how would you use the Tenable platform to prioritize, validate, and communicate remediation so the highest-risk exposures are actually reduced over time?
