On December 9, 2025, Cisco issued an official end-of-life announcement that changes the landscape for many security teams: Cisco Vulnerability Management, Vulnerability Intelligence, and Application Security Module (formerly Kenna) will reach end-of-support on June 30, 2028. The announcement includes a critical detail that elevates this from a routine technology refresh to a strategic decision point: Cisco has explicitly stated there is no replacement available for these products at this time. This is not a migration to a next-generation Cisco platform. It is a complete exit from this market segment, requiring customers to reassess their vulnerability management approach.The timeline provides approximately 42 months from announcement to final support cutoff. Sales end March 10, 2026. Service renewals stop June 11, 2026. After mid-2028, organizations still running Cisco Vulnerability Management will operate without vendor support, security updates, or technical assistance. 💡Here is the good news: if your organization has been running Kenna successfully, you already have something more valuable than any platform—you have the operational foundation in place to transition smoothly and evolve further.

Software is being built at record speed, but security is falling behind. In fact, recent research found that 81% of organisations knowingly shipped vulnerable code last year to meet the pressure for shorter production lifecycles.

As part of an online miniseries, Sylvian Cortes, Vice President of Strategy at Hackuity discusses his industry predictions for 2026. Can you tell me a bit about yourself, your job role and how long you have been at the company?

In this Q&A, Sylvain Cortes, VP Strategy at Hackuity, discusses why ineffective vulnerability management is becoming a hidden business risk – and how organisations can realign it with business priorities.

Security teams cannot and should not patch everything, particularly when many teams are inundated with false positives

You're not short on vulnerability & exploit data. You're short on time to make sense of it all. Every morning, your team faces the same challenge: dozen of new CVEs, tens marked "critical," some actually exploited in the wild. Which ones threaten YOUR environment? Which ones can wait? You need answers fast, but getting them means querying multiple sources, correlating threat intelligence, and connecting dots manually. What if your security tools could answer these questions themselves? That's what agentic AI makes possible. Instead of you querying data, AI agents continuously monitor, analyze, and surface the intelligence you need. Autonomously.
