CVSS-based approaches miss modern-day threats

AI is dramatically increasing the speed and scale of vulnerability discovery across applications, dependencies, and infrastructure. As the volume of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) grows, traditional vulnerability management approaches built around manual triage, disconnected tools, and CVSS scoring are becoming unsustainable. The result is wasted effort on low-impact issues while true threats linger, leaving critical systems exposed.

 Watch an overview
Growing vulnerability gap

The number of new CVEs has increased by more than 520% since 2016, overwhelming security teams.
Vulnerability backlogs continue to grow

66% of organizations report vulnerability backlogs exceeding 100,000 findings, delaying remediation of critical exposures.
CVSS scores miss operational risks

Traditional vulnerability scoring systems like CVSS measure technical severity, not real-world exploitability, business context or operational impact, causing teams to spend more time on low-priority findings while critical exposures remain unresolved.
Missed patches drive breaches

47% of vulnerabilities remain unpatched even 12 months after discovery, and 60% of breaches stem from flaws that already had available fixes.

Prioritize smarter. Remediate faster.

IBM Concert Protect transforms application vulnerability management with AI-powered automation and contextual risk intelligence, making remediation faster, smarter, and more cost-effective. Concert’s auto-patching capabilities cut median time to resolve critical CVEs by up to 90%1, while AI-driven prioritization ensures teams focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most. Its unified dashboards provide end-to-end visibility across applications, packages, and environments, and code-based auto-remediation brings security into the development workflow by enabling fixes directly in code before production.

Unified vulnerability dashboard

Concert’s unified dashboard delivers real-time visibility into vulnerabilities across applications, containers, and infrastructure. AI-powered summaries highlight exposure trends and remediation progress, helping teams track risks and measure results with confidence.

Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

Concert’s built-in SCA capabilities extend visibility into your SBOMs, CI/CD pipelines, and software packages, scanning open-source and third-party components for vulnerabilities, outdated libraries, and license compliance issues. AI-powered reliability checks assess the health of dependencies, helping teams choose trusted components and maintain compliance with global security and compliance standards.
