BOMBSHELL REPORT REVEALS CYBER THREATS ARE OUT OF CONTROL
The Skybox Security Research Lab has dropped a nuclear bombshell of a report, revealing that the cybersecurity landscape is more treacherous than ever. The 2024 Vulnerability and Threat Trends Report exposes the shocking truth: there are now more than 30,000 new vulnerabilities published every year, a rate of one every 17 minutes! This means that the average time to patch a vulnerability is now over 100 days, while 75% of new vulnerabilities are exploited in just 19 days or less.
CYBER CRIMINALS ARE WINNING THE WAR
The report paints a dire picture of a cybersecurity industry that is failing to keep pace with the rapidly evolving threat landscape. With a new vulnerability emerging every 17 minutes, it’s no wonder that cybercriminals are winning the war. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) has recorded a 17% year-over-year increase in vulnerabilities, with half of all new vulnerabilities classified as high or critical.
SECURITY TEAMS ARE IN OVER THEIR HEADS
The report highlights the critical gap in remediation efforts, with security teams struggling to keep up with the sheer volume of threats. With a shrinking window for vulnerability patching, it’s no wonder that cybercriminals are able to exploit vulnerabilities before they can even be patched. The report concludes that traditional vulnerability scanning methods are no longer effective, and that a new approach is needed to stay ahead of the threats.
TIME TO MOVE BEYOND PATCHING
The report calls for a radical shift in the way we approach cybersecurity. Gone are the days of patching vulnerabilities one by one. The report argues that a modern vulnerability management approach, integrated within a continuous exposure management programme, is the only way to reduce risk and slim down the mean time to remediation (MTTR). The report concludes that companies must adopt a risk-based approach to vulnerability management, leveraging existing controls and prioritising threats based on factors like exploitability and potential impact.
THE CYBERSECURITY INDUSTRY IS IN CRISIS
The report is a wake-up call for the cybersecurity industry, which is struggling to keep pace with the rapidly evolving threat landscape. The report concludes that the industry is in crisis, and that a radical shift is needed to stay ahead of the threats. The report is a must-read for anyone who wants to stay ahead of the cybercriminals and keep their organization safe.
