Bringing Your Security Ecosystem Closer to Purity Utilizing a Vulnerability Data Refinery

In this paper, we explore some of the key challenges that organizations face in measuring their information security risk and what is missing from existing security solutions offered within the market in order to achieve higher levels of risk measurement purity. The paper describes a proposed solution that operates as a "refinery." We use this metaphor because similar to processes in a gold mine, this refinery solution distills data to its purest form in order to fuel a highly intelligent information security program.
