Why CVSS Scores Don't Tell the Real Story of Risk CVSS often drives remediation priorities in SOCs, but its technical severity scores lack business and environmental context, leading teams to chase high-severity numbers instead of real risk. Modern exposure management and contextual risk scoring—exemplified by platforms like PlexTrac and frameworks such as CTEM—centralize findings and prioritize remediation by exposure, exploitability, and business impact to reduce real-world exposure. #CVSS #PlexTrac
