This ebook explains how vulnerability management must evolve for cloud-native environments where attacks move faster, software is built in-house, and infrastructure is ephemeral. It outlines a modern framework that retains core steps such as discovery, prioritization, remediation, mitigation, validation, and reporting, but emphasizes full-context risk prioritization using runtime insights, exploitability, and business impact rather than CVSS alone. The guide covers vulnerabilities across the full lifecycle, including code, dependencies, container images, hosts, Kubernetes, and third-party components, and stresses scanning at every stage from developer workstations through CI/CD, registries, and runtime. It highlights challenges such as unpatchable vulnerabilities, mutable images, caching r
