This report explores how vulnerability management in cloud environments requires a shift from traditional approaches to more context-aware prioritization. It emphasizes that cloud security sits at the intersection of application and infrastructure security, where not all vulnerabilities are equally relevant despite similar severity scores. Instead of focusing solely on CVSS, the report introduces a methodology combining vulnerability intelligence, technology prevalence, and real-world exploitability to prioritize risks effectively. It highlights that attackers typically target exposed workloads to extract credentials, move laterally, and escalate privileges, making exposure and context more critical than raw vulnerability counts. The report also underscores the importance of reducing noise
