The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises TodayManaging system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.

Sure, the law is the law, but we all know that there are good reasons to break laws, and sometimes breaking the law is the most ethical and moral thing to do, and in fact needs to be done. Governments make laws, some are good and right, but not all, and some are made to protect governments from being found out, these laws are abuses of power.
Snowden revealed what needed to be revealed, without him the government would have gotten more and more out of control. All the things we fought and died for for the last couple of hundred years would have gone out the window, what is the use of having words such as freedom, privacy, pursuit of happiness Etc Etc. if they are just words, just a belief but not a reality, no amount of security is worth such a loss.
Sure, we probably lost some advantages in "intelligence" but that loss just may prevent the loss of things that are much harder to get back, and if we lose those things, then our enemies have won, those enemies cannot defeat us with a thousand 9/11s, but if we lose our liberty, our right to privacy, our way of life, then we lose everything.
