Take Back Control as Enterprises Struggle to Incorporate Risks They Don't Understand - Ben Lipczynski - BSW #456

Author: Security Weekly Productions July 15, 2026 Duration: 55:20

More than 48,000 vulnerabilities were disclosed in 2025, yet only about 1% are actively exploited. However, you're expected to mitigate all vulnerabilities, or at least critical and high. But what if there is no patch to fix the vulnerability or the software is unsupported?

Ben Lipcynski, Director Security and Regulatory Services at Optima, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how organizations can take back control of your enterprise software. OPTAS — Origina Proactive Threat Assurance Service — predicts, validates, prioritizes, and mitigates threats specific to your environment. Unlike AI vulnerability tools that flag everything without context or mitigation guidance, OPTAS cuts through the noise. OPTAS helps security teams focus on the risks that matter instead of chasing the 99% that do not.
