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.

So by definition, whether it is "Security Breach", "Breach", "Security Incident", it all boils down to "unauthorized" access to resources that are managed by an authorized controlling party. At the end of the day, what difference does it make because the party who experiences the attack, have been affected by this incident and irreparable damage to their reputation?
The significant problem is that people feel they have to access resources that they don't own, I am not sure why they feel they have to take such major steps to try and access systems, this is bigger than just the use of words, this focuses attention on the true nature of people and the dark side of man. The "Psychology of the Perpetrator" or "Criminal" is what we need to focus on, what makes them tick?
Just a thought for the day.
