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.

Almost every time, the public will connect/attribute the brand to the breach problem, not the franchisee or contractor. Occasionally, the brand can brush off the connection if the problem has particulars regarding specific employees or activities at a specific facility or area. But when a problem is pervasive across multiple stores or facilities, the brand CANNOT avoid the attribution no matter how many statements they may make.
To me, this is a classic example of poor executive decision making where the management mindset is to divert blame away from the crystal corporate palace.
For me, I would have more confidence and respect for any organization that is willing to stand up to the problem at hand, accept blame even if it really isn't their fault, and attest to (and follow through with) broad measures focused on full and proper remediation.
