Past, Present & Future of Risk Based Vulnerability Management w/ Ed Bellis

About this episode

Ed Bellis is the visionary who essentially created the Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) category. From his days as CISO at Orbitz to founding Kenna Security in a market that didn't yet know it needed prioritization, Ed has consistently pushed the boundaries of cybersecurity. In this episode, Ed unpacks the grueling reality of convincing early investors and customers to put their vulnerability data in the cloud, the game-changing pivot that gave Kenna true product-market fit, and the candid truth behind what went wrong after the massive Cisco acquisition. He also dives into his new venture, Empirical Security, the role of AI in "eating the scanner," and why the industry needs to finally ditch the fear-mongering.
