    In collaborating with a remote team on cybersecurity, prioritization hinges on a risk-based approach. We assess threats using a combination of likelihood and potential impact, employing frameworks like the CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System). Critical vulnerabilities that expose sensitive data or disrupt operations are addressed first. Additionally, we factor in exploitability, threat actor capability, and business-critical assets. Regular threat intelligence feeds inform our decisions, while continuous collaboration through secure communication channels ensures timely response to emerging threats. This data-driven, risk-centric methodology optimizes resource allocation while maintaining security posture.
