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.

We just have to brace oursleves and be extra vigilent about giving away our PII to too many organizations out there who really do not need it. For example: registration for my son kindergarten next year required a copy of his SSN. I refused to provide it to the school as there is absolutely no reason for them to store that data. They were cool with my answer...So yes we need to be vigilant and learn to say "no, sorry. You have to prove me you need that information from me before i hand it to you."
