How Patch Hesitancy Weakens National Security
Security Boulevard, December 7th, 2022
The number of vulnerabilities in circulation is booming. Patching has been placed at the forefront of modern security - with great emphasis placed upon a 'little but often' approach
However, even as patch implementation is heralded as the pinnacle of security, an increasing number of reports are discovering that misconfigured and missing patches are the direct cause of a vast majority of data breaches.
The tech assets that organizations rely on for streamlined communications, skills, and management are continuously becoming outdated. Attackers have already discovered this. Always-on, virtual patch systems such as WAF and RASP technology may provide a key solution to this issue.
