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.

Consider that idea of running an OS in memory. Imagine cloning a system into memory and then diverting all interfacing data of the parent system through your OS. Acting as that parent system on a sweet network, much as InfoSec teams might deploy a honeypot to lure hackers in, you can deploy a similar system to lure in real users with critical data you need.
The point is, memory isn't only for malware/non-malware and InfoSec is going to have to be much more elaborate in their tools to keep all layers of the computing environment clean, from cache, memory and hard drive to hardware ports and network switches.
