Beyond the SLA: Measuring What Truly Matters

We’ve been taught to believe that if vulnerabilities are closed within SLA, our environments are secure. But in reality, SLAs often provide a false sense of protection. In this session, we’ll challenge the status quo of how vulnerability management success is measured and uncover the illusion of security that box-checking creates.

You’ll walk away understanding why timely remediation doesn’t always equal real risk reduction — and how legacy systems, resource constraints, third-party bottlenecks, and low-context prioritization often leave critical exposures wide open. This talk will help you reframe security metrics to reflect actual risk posture, not just resolution timelines. Whether you’re a security engineer, a risk analyst, or a leader driving strategic programs, you’ll learn how to shift your org’s focus from SLA compliance to measurable, meaningful security health.
