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.

There is always room for ambiguity to play, when we over-commit complicated ideas to simple expressions, such as "the cloud". To begin with, cloud is style as well as place. Many of the desirable attributes of public cloud derive from cloud as style - so are available when cloud style is applied to a private place. Many of the less desirable features of public cloud can be avoided by not putting everything in the public place (or using "public transportation" of data).
The article and the report seem to suggest hybrid cloud as a combination of public cloud (style, place and transport), and legacy style and infrastructure in a private place - a place soon to be abandoned as soon as the moving van is ready to roll on to "The Cloud". However, hybrid cloud can also be a reimagining of information systems to utilize the best tools for the various tasks required to properly inform those you authorize - and not inform those you don't.
