Vulnerability Backlogs Are an Ownership Problem

Security writers are arguing that vulnerability backlogs persist in organisations largely because no one clearly owns them. When patches and risk tickets are left floating between security and engineering teams, critical fixes slip through the cracks. The discussion calls for assigning clear responsibility and accountability for remediation so that known weaknesses actually get fixed rather than piling up indefinitely.

Why now: Cybersecurity practitioners are debating why known vulnerabilities go unpatched, and unclear internal ownership is being flagged as the root cause.
