Cybersecurity teams have spent years asking, “What is vulnerable?” But that’s no longer the question that matters. The real question is: Is this actually exploitable in my environment right now? This is the certainty gap — where traditional CTEM tools fall short. They generate findings, dashboards, and risk scores, but they can’t prove what’s truly exploitable in production. Meanwhile, attackers are moving faster than ever. Vulnerabilities are weaponized in hours, not weeks. Welcome to Day Minus One.
