Why Security Teams Should Validate CVEs Like Engineers Test Rockets: TTP-Chain Validation Explained

Summary

This article draws an analogy between rocket engineering and cybersecurity vulnerability management. Just as engineers validate rocket systems through ground testing rather than launching every rocket, security teams should validate exploitability of CVEs through TTP-Chain Validation rather than attempting to exploit every vulnerability. The piece argues that traditional vulnerability scanning produces too many false positives, and that security teams need smarter, context-aware methods to prioritize real risks, especially in the face of AI-driven threats that evolve rapidly.
