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.

Remember when your Mother told you to chew your food carefully and not just gulp it down? Works with data as well. It is not how much you "consume" but rather how you go about chewing through the data to produce information. that when analyzed results in actionable intelligence products.
You need a metehodology when it comes to assessing your data. NGA, DoD, DIA, CIA and just about all the other three-letter agencies in the IC, working the cyber problem, are already relying on Acitivity-Based Intelligence (ABI) methods and tradecraft, enabled by Object Based Production (OBP) techniques.
No, they are not just "buzzwords"and yes they are getting good results. If you have not heard of ABI or OBP, then you probably really are just gulping down your food! I mean your data, and choking on it! Not a criticism, just an observation! :->)
