PODCAST | Vulnerability Management: Turning Cyber Hygiene into Business Confidence
By N‑able
Discover why vulnerability management is critical for cyber resilience, compliance, and business continuity—and how N‑able is reinventing the process.
In this episode of Head Nerd Table, Jason Murphy sits down with Jeff Green, Distinguished Product Leader for Vulnerability Management at Enable, to unpack why vulnerability management is no longer optional — it’s essential. Jeff shares insights from his experience as a CTO and MSP leader, explaining how vulnerability management underpins both cyber and business resilience.
The conversation explores why this discipline matters for organisations of all sizes, from SMBs to large enterprises, and how regulatory pressures, cyber insurance requirements, and supply chain risks are driving adoption. Jeff also dives into practical challenges: millions of CVEs, prioritisation, and what to do when patching isn’t an option.
Finally, we look at N‑able’s roadmap for vulnerability management, including integration with patching, risk acceptance workflows, and future plans for network and OS scanning. Whether you’re an MSP, IT leader, or security practitioner, this episode offers actionable advice on building resilience and turning vulnerability management into a strategic advantage.
