Principles from Former IC & SecOps Leaders
The 5-Minute Fix Principle: "Consider three risks, each of which could decimate your business. One requires 5 minutes to fix, one takes a week, and the third will take three months. You significantly reduce your risk by fixing them in that order." Our Workbench ranks vulnerabilities by Remediation ROI = (Potential Impact × Likelihood) ÷ Fix Time to eliminate catastrophic vectors first.
