Most security teams treat every KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerability) alert as equally urgent, even when many don’t apply to their environment. This creates unnecessary workload, diverts resources from real threats, and burns out already overwhelmed security teams.

We analyzed 10 common KEV CVEs found across 200+ cloud environments. The results revealed a critical flaw in how we prioritize security: none posed actual risk to cloud containerized environments.
