The directive requires evaluating vulnerabilities across four factors: public asset exposure, known exploitation status (KEV catalog), automatable exploitation, and potential technical impact. With over 48,000 CVEs published in 2025 and 28.3% now exploited within 24 hours of disclosure, traditional severity scores are insufficient. Dynatrace positions its Runtime Vulnerability Analytics platform as a solution, mapping each BOD 26-04 requirement to capabilities like Smartscape topology for exposure mapping, threat intelligence enrichment for KEV correlation, exploitability context for reachable code paths, and runtime dependency mapping for blast radius assessment. The broader industry shift is from periodic scanning toward continuous, contextual, runtime-informed security. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
