THE ZERO VULNERABILITY DOCTRINE
Total Quality Vulnerability Management (TQVM)
VM is a process problem. AI ended the grace period.
CYBER MUST DEMAND QUALITY - NOT REWORK.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our mantra has not changed over the past ten years, but it can no longer be ignored. While tooling and overall industry maturity have provided great incidental improvements, those gains are no longer enough. Vulnerability Management must be approached differently to provide value in today's environment.
THE SIX PAPERS
Four of these were first published on the TranSigma blog in 2022. The Third Edition rewrites those four for AI, cloud, and the current threat landscape and adds two more. Where an original exists, it is linked; updated versions are posted here as they are finished.
Paper 1
What Changed
Why the conditions the rest of the set assumes are no longer arguable.
