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.

Before this gets mistaken for a political comment, consider: InfoSec is a business and the idea of putting customers in a secure position such that their working environments support their success is key to the success of the InfoSec industry. However, when media leap onto stories and perpetuate government spin that points fingers in instances of cybercrime without fully subtantiated evidence, well, that simply pulls the industry down. It's important that InfoSec leaders across the world keep to truthful narratives and not blow any particular cybercrime out of proportion, especially those involving governments. We're good if we're simply reporting on what others are stating, but need to be clear on what is fact and what is coming from another horse's mouth.
