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.

It's a good lesson. His long battle was unnecessary and sad, but also a deterrent to others who have non-criminal intent, but whose curiosity drives them to commit a crime as a result of it. From my perspective, I can't believe it didn't take a matter of six months to identify Gary as not a threat, or a potential repeat offender, and simply have let him off on parole. Such a sad incident and an example of how we are nowhere near where we need to be in terms of educating the government and the public regarding this cyber world we live in, and how far the government is from writing laws and punishment that fit the cyber crime.
