In the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, the sheer volume of Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) notices has become a daunting challenge for SecOps teams. In 2023 alone, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued 28,901 CVE notices, reflecting the growing complexity and intensity of potential threats. Compounding this challenge, 74% of security breaches […]
TLDR: CVEs are really bad and hard to manage. Download the Gartner® “The Top 5 Elements of Effective Vulnerability Management” (January 2024, ID G00775767) for expert guidance. In today's rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, managing Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) is a critical yet increasingly complex task. As organizations scale their digital footprints, the sheer volume […]
There are never enough hours in the day to do everything. I think we all have a to-do list that is at least twice as long as the time available to complete it. To cope, we prioritize what’s “on fire” or what has the most potential to immediately cause damage if it’s not taken care […]
There are almost 165,000 known CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) listed in the NIST Database. In October of 2020, the NSA published a list of the 25 CVEs most likely to be exploited by Nation-State attackers in China; Checkpoint software found over 3 million attempts to penetrate networks or steal files using these known vulnerabilities. But […]
