Installing a security tool is the easy part. The hard part begins on 'Day 2,' when that tool reports 5,000 new vulnerabilities. This guide focuses on vulnerability management: how to filter out duplicate alerts, manage false positives, and track the metrics that actually measure success. Learn how to move from 'finding bugs' to 'fixing risks' without overwhelming your team.
