Certified - CompTIA CYSA+

Sometimes the same vulnerability poses very different risks depending on the environment. This episode teaches you how to analyze vulnerabilities in context—a crucial CySA+ concept and a daily responsibility in the SOC. You’ll learn how factors like asset criticality, network location, user roles, data exposure, and isolation strategies shape whether a vulnerability should be escalated, accepted, or deprioritized.

We’ll also cover how organizations use context-aware dashboards and asset tagging to help analysts focus on what matters most. Understanding where a vulnerability exists is just as important as knowing what it is. This episode helps you go beyond static severity scores and approach vulnerability management like a strategic analyst—not just a technician checking boxes. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
