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.

Prospective Employer: So I see you don't have a lot of experience in CyberSecurity.
Response: Correct, which is why I'm willing to start out at associate level to work my way up and to prove I can do it.
Prospective Employer: Okay, thanks we'll let you our decision.
After nine months of those type responses, out of pockets expenses for Sec+ course, cert exam, CISA course and ISACA membership, I decided enough was enough.
Maybe if employers were willing hire people with demonstrated abilities and the motivation to do the job some of those vacancies could be filled. Just a thought.
