**You may also want to factor in the relative likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited**. This involves using real-world threat intelligence to identify key patterns in attacker behaviour. On this basis, vulnerabilities can be assigned a score using an Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS). The higher the score, the more likely an exploit is to be exploited by a threat actor – and the sooner you should aim to remediate it.

Achieving SLAs in vulnerability management is not without challenges. Patch reliability, compliance issues, and resource constraints can hinder the remediation process. However, with the right strategies and tools, these challenges can be overcome. Enhanced patching solutions and **[remediation tracking tools](https://www.rootshellsecurity.net/vulnerability-remediation-tracker/)** can significantly improve your ability to meet goals and measure progress.

Don’t wait for a security breach to take action. Embrace vulnerability management SLAs as a proactive strategy to safeguard your organization’s assets, data, and reputation.
