Cutting Through 206K Vulnerabilities With Just 5 Policy Changes

The Challenge: Drowning in Vulnerabilities, No Clear Fix

A security team managing a complex environment with multiple tools (Wiz, SentinelOne, and Cisco Meraki) was overwhelmed with 206,000 vulnerabilities.

With compliance audits looming and attack surfaces expanding, they faced two options:

‍
🚨 Option 1: Manually patch 200k vulnerabilities which is an impossible task.
✅ Option 2: Implement just 5 strategic policy changes to neutralize critical risks and shrink their exposure.

They chose wisely.

The Breakthrough: Tuskira’s AI-Powered Security Mesh

Instead of playing endless patch whack-a-mole, the team used Tuskira’s Digital Twin-Based Attack Simulation to cut through the noise.

What Is a Digital Twin, and Why Does It Matter?

Traditional security tools flood teams with vulnerabilities, but most aren't actually exploitable. Attackers don’t wait for teams to patch; they chain misconfigurations, bypass security controls, and exploit the gaps faster than teams can respond.

Tuskira’s Digital Twin for Preemptive Analysis creates a real-time, AI-driven replica of the security environment, allowing teams to:

• Simulate vulnerabilities and exploits without impacting live systems.
• Replay real-world attack scenarios using AI agents to test defenses.
• Identify entry points, landing assets, and exit paths attackers would use.
• Validate whether existing security controls (EDR, WAF, IAM) truly stop attacks—or just generate noise.

How Tuskira Helped This Team Move from Chaos to Clarity

• 99% Noise Reduction – From 206K vulnerabilities to only 94 real risks.
• Attack Simulation Validation – Confirmed that these 94 were exploitable, exposed, and undefended.
• Automated Policy-Based Remediation – Just 5 policy changes eliminated the critical risks.
• Audit Readiness With 55 Policy Updates – Instead of patching 200K vulnerabilities, the team passed their compliance audit by making targeted policy adjustments.

The Outcome: Fix What Matters, and Reprioritize the rest‍

Tuskira’s AI-driven validation revealed that 80% of risk could be eliminated through just 5 policy changes. If the team wanted to go further, an additional 55 policies would cover nearly all remaining exposures.

Without this intelligence, the team would have been stuck in an endless patch cycle, wasting resources on low-risk CVEs while attackers exploited the few that truly mattered.

‍Security That Works Smarter, Not Harder

‍Tuskira helps customers focus on the truly attackable vulnerabilities, not just those listed in a CVE database. Instead of drowning in alerts, security teams now have a clear, risk-based remediation path that reduces effort while maximizing security outcomes.
