Vulnerability Backlogs Are an Ownership Problem
Dark Reading argues that unpatched vulnerability backlogs persist in organisations not because teams lack tools, but because no one clearly owns the problem. Security teams find and track flaws while developers and business owners control remediation, leaving responsibility blurred and critical fixes delayed. The piece calls for assigning clear accountability across security, engineering and business units to finally shrink backlogs.
Why now: Cybersecurity practitioners are discussing accountability for unpatched vulnerabilities as backlogs continue to grow despite growing tooling investment.
