Acronyms
This was a very interesting article but I have one peeve, usage of acronyms w/o spelling out their full name at the first use. Given how technical the article is I believe it's necessary (and proper manual of style). Given my casual interest I had to look up quite a few. Otherwise, nice article.

Building Control System Integrator Perspective
I come from the BMS (building management systems)/FMS (facility management systems) space and tyically we are rolled into ICS/SCADA.  While a close fit, it is not an exact fit.  Our communtiy is trying to design and implement control systems securely.  However, older systems, for the most part, are forgotten.  It is these systems that this list impacts greatly.  Too many of us left behind default username and passwords as well leaving ports set to the default port.  This article emphasizes the need for us, the BMS/FMS integrators, to reach out to our installed customer base and at lease let them know that these systems need have the default settings changed.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing 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.
