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.

or hacker, has one of the most exciting and creative jobs in the industry. They
are asked to find as many critical security vulnerabilities in complex software
systems with limited resources - before the application is released or shipped.
They have the challenge of knowing more about the system in the first couple of
days than the developers who wrote the system. They have to find every
vulnerability in the system, while the attacker effectively has all the time
and resources in the world to find only one issue. ThatGÇÖs why, I truly believe
that to be effective, they have to get in the attackers mindset, think like the
enemy, if I may say. Also, we have to keep in mind that it takes dedication,
practice and a laser-like focus for years to become the best. Actually, hereGÇÖs
