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.

Hmm, interesting, we were the ones who created ransomware and deployed it to other countries but it was not designed to be used for monetary purposes, it was called cryptoviral extortion. So let's be clear, we invented it - the question you have to ask yourself - if it was created at Columbia University, how did it happen to appear from other nation-states radar and how is it that other countries are attacking us using our own software program. They reversed engineered it and sent it back to us. This also happened with Stuxnet and NitroZeus.
But the conversation was not only just based on that, it also covered numerous programs that were getting out of hand, managed by people who got sloppy drunk over their power broker decisions. It never fails, General Alexander, Clapper, and now DHS's power-hungry leader. The funny thing is that they (Congress) tried to denounce Clapper and Alexander's decision but they were the one's who authorized it, basically to deploy and initiate cyber-warfare on nation-states (some of which were even our allies - France and England - they found us spying on prime-minister's cell phone and Video conferencing sessions, we found a way to hack their session, those video conferencing sessions were held on US soil - NY/US).
It is funny how we act like the victim when we are the one's causing the problems, another instance of "chickens coming home to roost", for some reason, this sounds familiar.
