In light of the NVD backlog, architects must implement 'Vulnerability Intelligence Diversification.' This involves: 1. Integrating multiple threat feeds (e.g., CISA KEV, VulnCheck, and vendor-specific advisories) into a unified risk engine. 2. Shifting toward 'Exploit-Centric' prioritization—focusing on vulnerabilities with known PoCs or active exploitation rather than just high CVSS scores. 3. Implementing 'Virtual Patching' via WAFs and IPS to provide immediate protection while waiting for official vendor patches and NVD analysis.
