Listen "Ep. 10 - Beyond CVEs: Why Patching Isn’t Enough to Stop Breaches"

Episode Synopsis

Most security teams are laser-focused on patching CVEs, but does that guarantee protection? In this episode, SafeBreach Co-Founder & CTO Itzik Kotler and VP of Sales Engineering Michael De Groat unpack the real risks that slip through even the most rigorous vulnerability management programs.
From misconfigurations and overly-permissioned identities to insider threats, social engineering, and zero-days, adversaries are exploiting far more than just published vulnerabilities. Discover why an assumed breach mindset and proactive adversarial simulation are critical for building resilience—long after your systems are fully patched.
Tune in to learn:


Why 100% patch compliance still won’t stop ransomware or data exfiltration


The hidden risks in identity, configuration, and insider threats


How “assumed compromise” thinking shifts organizations from reactive to proactive security


Practical lessons from years of breach and attack simulation across Fortune 500 environments


If you’re a CISO, security leader, or practitioner navigating today’s threat landscape, this episode is a must-listen.
