Modenization: Strategies for modernizing existing code [Ed: "Modenization" is a typo in the headline and a trap for vendor lockin]
So far in this series I have established that the following are all necessary components of the modernization project planning process:

Do all vulnerabilities really matter?
Vulnerabilities in software are a global concern, and open source software is no different from proprietary software in this regard. Any software vulnerability has the potential to be exploited by miscreants to harm its user. Whether this is on-premises, in the cloud, or on your mobile device, vulnerabilities in software make headlines (for good reason).
There is tension, however, between software producers and software users. On the surface, any vulnerability is scary due to the potential for harm. Yet, the reality is that most vulnerabilities have minimal opportunity to cause harm, whether due to the type of vulnerability itself, the type of authorization required to execute it, the vulnerability’s level of exposure in typical use of the software, and many other factors. This variability means a vulnerability in a particular component used in different products could result in different severities in those products. All software vulnerabilities are not created equal, and there is a substantial body of work to support this assertion.
