Pareto Principle
The 80/20 Rule
The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes.
In the world of Vulnerability Management, only a small amount of CVEs introduce the majority of risk.
Tracking CVEs that generate vibrant conversation gives us a tool to reliability identify the most important vulnerabilities.
