As the cybersecurity analyst at a medium-sized enterprise, you have been tasked with presenting the monthly vulnerability assessment report to the senior management. The CEO emphasizes the importance of understanding the most pressing threats. Which part of your report should be highlighted to directly address the CEO's concern?
Top 10 vulnerabilities and their risk scores
Detailed list of all identified vulnerabilities
Overview of previously addressed and mitigated vulnerabilities
Mitigation strategies for low-risk vulnerabilities
Highlighting the 'Top 10' vulnerabilities section allows the senior management to quickly understand the most critical threats facing the organization. It focuses on the highest risk vulnerabilities, which should be addressed with priority. This section is commonly derived from data analytics and vulnerability scoring to represent the most immediate concerns that may require resource allocation for remediation. Reporting on all vulnerabilities or focusing on mitigated threats would not effectively target the CEO's specific concern about pressing threats.
