Risk appetite directly affects what part of a vulnerability management program?

 Impact of Risk Appetite on Scope:

Risk appetite determines the extent of systems and vulnerabilities included in the program. A higher risk appetite may narrow the scope, focusing on critical systems, while a lower risk appetite might broaden it.

 Tailoring to Organizational Goals:

By aligning the scope with risk appetite, organizations can prioritize efforts that meet their tolerance levels for risk.

 Supporting Reference:

CCISO materials emphasize that the scope of vulnerability management should directly reflect the organization’s defined risk appetite.
