Traditional vulnerability scanners often struggle to effectively prioritize risks , Skybox offers an advanced Vulnerability and Threat Management solution that effectively tackles the security challenges of vulnerabilities by prioritizing them . This is achieved by combining industry-standard CVSS severity with customer-specific insights such as an asset ' s business importance , the network accessibility of a vulnerability , and known exploit data .
