Majority Of 2023's Critical Cyberattacks Stemmed From Fewer Than 1% Of Vulnerabilities
SiliconANGLE , Monday, December 18,2023
A new report by cybersecurity software provider Qualys Inc. finds that in 2023, fewer than 1% of vulnerabilities contributed to the highest risks and were routinely exploited in the wild.
The 2023 Threat Landscape Year in Review report details key insights from the vulnerability threat landscape, the top vulnerability types and other related data, including mean time to exploitation, MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques, and the most active ransomware and threat actors in 2023.
The report also found that 97 high-risk vulnerabilities likely to be exploited were found to not be listed in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's Know Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. A quarter of high-risk vulnerabilities were exploited on the same day they were published and a third of high vulnerabilities impacted network devices and web applications.
