The soft underbelly of Vulnerability Management is people. For those in the trenches, the kindred spirits working shoulder to shoulder, there is little acknowledgment save the unspoken satisfaction of mitigated vulnerabilities before the next wave comes crashing ashore. 

It is a daunting prospect to consider the work created by a short-term, let alone a long-term, lapse in diligence toward your Vulnerability Management practice. Inevitably, a sobering realization sets in. Success in this endeavor means mitigating vulnerabilities faster than they are discovered.
