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.

It is funny how quick
one will turn when faced when jail time. I think that SabuGÇÖs biggest contributions
to the Feds were not the people he rolled on, but exposing the unknown
vulnerabilities, and eliminating those threats. I like how it was pointed out
that it is individuals and not computers that are responsible for these
attacks. I believe that people associate computers with threats and vulnerabilities,
although responsible for some security flaws, it is the intent of a individual behind
the attacks. I understand that the Feds are responsible for arresting these
hackers, but it would have been nice to know they caught them through forensics
and not handed to them. That would have given me confidence in our defense,
actually catching them by detecting and investigating then tracing these attacks
to the individuals.
